The fan's surface features a patterned design with a mosaic-like appearance, comprising various shapes including hexagons and rectangles in dark and light shades. Two flower-like motifs are visible on the fan. The fan's ribs are thin and dark-colored, extending from the center to the edge. The fan's handle is long and dark-colored, positioned on the right side. A small ruler is placed below the fan on the left. A small plaque with illegible text is on the right. The background is a plain gray surface.
