As widely used objects, fans appear in Sāmoa in many different design variations. Frequently represented in collections are fans with a wooden handle, the upper end of which is braided with strips of coconut leaves, which also form the fan leaf. For this fan, coloured hibiscus bast strips and plant fibres were also woven into the fan. Text: Ulrich Menter
