Very nice wood rib oriental hand fans. The ribs are painted black, but not on the side the material is glued on. That is why only gave 4 stars. The wood shows through and some of the black shows as well with the over-sprayed paint. Material is like a rayon material. The measure approximately 13 inches long closed and 24 inches wide when open fully. Being these are made of wood they are light and easily open. They make a great sound when snapped open. Burrrup! I will buy another set to work the many routines demonstrated on the "FANtasy" DVD, that these hand fans are provide for productions. These hand fans are not gimmicked in any way, they are provided as the perfect solution for use in Hand Fan Productions.
