Handle of shaped bone. The verso is a plain, dark golden yellow silk. Together with A Wood Face Screen painted in pastel green, the handle gently rounded, the screen shaped, painted to the recto with a river scene, and to the verso with yellow daisies and delicate hanging flowerheads; and A Near Pair of Black Silk Face Screens, mid-19th century, embroidered with exotic birds and colourful flowers. Both screens are trimmed with braid fringing, and the (presumed) wood handles are covered with glazed black ribbon (3)

Condition Report:
. The cherub face screen's handle has been broken thus it is shorter than usual. Some rubbing to the paint on the second fan.
