Add a touch of Far Eastern grandeur to your coffee table, desk or wall with this exquisite ornamental folding fan handcrafted by skilled Asian artisans. The front side of this wonderful piece depicts a scene from the ancient Taoist legend, "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea," in which eight once-ordinary men and women are each granted a special godly power in return for their acts of honor and courage. This lively scene is rendered in vibrant Song Dynasty style and portrays all the immortals demonstrating their heavenly new abilities. The fan itself is lovingly crafted from durable, high quality paper and warm red bamboo. The reverse side of the fan is equally beautiful, adorned with the artwork's title inscribed in intricate Chinese characters. This fan comes complete with a carved wooden display stand and a cozy carrying case that swirls with ornate embroidery. 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.
