Spanish fan

Handheld folding cooler

A Spanish fan is a handheld folding fan, typically made of fabric stretched over rigid sticks that collapse together.

Associated with Spanish culture and flamenco dancing, these fans spread open in a semicircle and are used for cooling, decoration, or expressive gesture: She snapped open her Spanish fan with a flick of the wrist.
