The feathers are attached to a smooth wooden handle by tying them together loosely, allowing for the feathers to flop creating a breeze to feed the coals. The white body feathers are attached by their hide and tied together in the back with white cotton string that is stained tan with age. 1970.78.5.4 (Fan) image
