Fill your home or office with blessings for longevity and affluence with this stunning decorative folding fan created by skilled Asian artisans. This elegant piece depicts an exquisite lakeside scene with eight magnificent cranes gathered amongst the branches of a verdant pine tree. In the upper right-hand corner of the fan, a famous Chinese blessing wishes you and your guests a long and healthy life. On the reverse side, a moving poem rendered in gorgeous Chinese calligraphy reads: "At moonset cry the crows, streaking the frosty sky / Dimly lit fishing boats 'neath maples sadly lie / Beyond the city walls, from Temple of Cold Hill / Bells break the ship-borne roamer's dream and midnight still." In China, cranes and pines have long represented vitality, while the number eight is popularly equated with prosperity. The fan itself is crafted from durable, high-quality buff-colored paper and smooth red bamboo. This fan is delivered complete with a convenient wooden display stand and intricately embroidered carrying case. When you open the fan fully, the wood slats at the bottom of the opened fan fit snuggly over the top edge of the bridge on the stand.
