It is fitted with black ribbon ties. The second item is a simple eye mask of moulded plastic construction with a matte black finish and black ribbon ties. The third item is a folding fan featuring large, soft black ostrich feathers mounted on dark brown translucent faux-tortoiseshell plastic guards and sticks, finished with a pivot pin and black ribbon loop. The fourth item is a decorative folding fan with a curved row of peacock eye feathers above white marabou-style down feathers, mounted on cream-coloured plastic sticks with pierced geometric decoration and a white cord tassel.

Condition report:
The items are in good used condition overall. The gold-toned mask shows minor surface scuffing and light finish loss, particularly around the eye holes. Both feather fans exhibit typical minor feather shedding, ruffling, and separation of barbules consistent with age and occasional use. The plastic guards and sticks on both fans appear intact without visible cracks or repairs.
