Description
Paper fan with ivory struts that are held together at the end with a metal pin (brass alloy). The outer struts are decorated with carving (lines and hatching). The paper is painted on one side. The colours used are predominantly green and blue. In addition to zigzag bands and vertical stripe patterns, three fields have been left blank, in the centre of each of which there is a goblet with leaf/flower work. Small coloured metal sequins are glued along the edge of the cut-outs and in the flower ornaments.
Holding
Provenance
This object presumably came from the property of Clara Marx and was added to the collection of the ‘Haus der Heimat - Sauerländisches Friedrich Harkort Museum’ during the Nazi dictatorship through a purchase. However, she did not receive the money for it, as it was allegedly given directly to the tax office due to overdue ‘Jewish property taxes’.
Parts of the collection - such as this object - became the property of the City Museum of Hagen in the post-war period.
