Maruja Mallo traditional fan

Maruja Mallo traditional fan

Fan language was used in Spain especially to communicate with men. Ladies, with gestures and movements, showed everything from love to the most angry jealousy.

Some signs directed at suitors or friends…

Kiss me! Hold the fan half open touching your lips and you will be asking for a kiss.

I'm single! She moves the fan slowly over her chest.

A whole catalogue of feelings expressed in a subtle and artistic way!

Made in Spain from sipo wood, hand-painted with flowers in white and ochre colors

It comes in a very useful gift bag for storing the fan after use
