 Artifact | | Beaded Fan Holder Maine State Museum, Artifact
Beaded fan or nosegay holder, worked with multi-colored beads on red wool, with blue silk binding the edges. The beaded design is worked in circles of pink, clear, green, yellow, red, 3 shades of blue, and cut steel beads. Two rows of white beads outline the edges of the fan holder, which is fan-shaped with a scalloped edge at the top, tapering to a long neck and rounded end. It is lined with red silk and probably interlined with soft leather (it is stiff, but flexible).
