Fans like these were used to ward off flies and mosquitoes or to bring relief to the sick. However, double fans were rather rare.

This double fan has no old inventory number. According to the index card from 1971, it belongs to Brandeis' donation from the Marshall Islands from 1900. On Antonie Brandeis' object list for the 1st consignment from April 1900, a double fan can be found under no. 19 "Doppel-Fächer. Rèal edj in ir. Pandanusbl. u. Bast wie bei den Matten" (SAF D.Sm 35/1) with the old inventory number 1296, but this was assigned to fan II/1257, which is, however, a single fan. Either there was already a mix-up here on the part of the collector or II/1316 (1296) is an identical object. The latter seems plausible.
