[MR] TA and Fans!

Your fan must be functional and not just pretty. A fan that cannot move air is not a fan. :-)

Fans come in many varieties!
Paddles
stick
folding

and made with-
wood
paper
ivory (for us re-purposed or mammoth, not new)
bone
feathers
embroidered
feathered
velvet
Printed 
painted
needlework
lace etc etc etc

You can look at images at the Web Gallery of Art

Or search the V&A collection:

Portraits of Queen Elizabeth I show images of fans.....

Just sayin!
