"Buddhist Monk's Fan Handle"
When a utilitarian object becomes a work of art. This is a Buddhist monk's fan handle from Thailand, the former Kingdom of Siam, known as a "talipot fan." It is made from the talipot palm (Corypha umbraculifera), a tree native to Sri Lanka, South India, and Southeast Asia. Its simple and pure form makes it a highly aesthetic and modern contemporary sculpture. Produced in the 19th-20th century.
