However, what is most incredible about this is that each frame is made from a very rare, almost extinct kind of exotic wood: Namely, Ivory Steelwood upon Summer, and Ebony Steelwood for Winter. The strength that these two forms of steelwood lend the fans is nothing if not astounding, and were they not made for dancing, each could very easily be made into weapons. As for the details of the fans themselves, Summer features a span radius of 1 1/4', while Winter remains slightly larger with a span of 1 1/2'; symbolic of the winter seasons often being longer than the summers. Soft velveteen fabric covers the length of these spans, while romantic and expensive lace forms the basis of the exquisite trim and base of each. The colours of each fan are, as one might expect, also very different. Summer is set in the shades of elegant and alluring warmth; ruby red velvet covers the spread of the fan, while black lace trimmings contrast beautifully to create an unforgettable image of passion and heat. Gold details, vivaciously woven atop the obsidian depths of the trim, add the final touches. Winter, in contrast, holds a much colder feel to it. Deep midnight blue velvet holds dominance upon the ebony steelwood frame, lined with sublime lace trimmings of deep violet, and realized with stylized ice-blue laced details. Each also features a number of tiny interwoven gemstones, mostly sapphires and quartz, that shimmer and shines upon the lengths of the beautifully attractive fans like snowflakes without adding any extra weight. All in all, the value of these two items is immeasurable, which only seems to add to their distinctive presence. As for the history of the items, little is known. They were recovered from the Imperial Tribune in the year 620 ATA by a member of House Lomasa. The legacy of these fans before and after that event remains known only to them alone...
