Fans in the Marquesas were carried by prominent individuals of both sexesas marks of social status. Displayed at feasts and other events, their visualimpact was enhanced by the elegant manner in which they were carried,especially by women. Made from narrow strips of plant fiber, the blades werewoven around dagger-like wood handles (ke'e), sometimes sheathed in asleeve of bone. The earliest fan handles were apparently unadorned, but bythe early 1800s, artists began to decorate them with numerous small tiki(human images). Typically arranged in pairs, shown back-to-back and stackedone atop the other, these tiki, like human images elsewhere in Marquesanart, likely portray deified ancestors.Free picture Fan Handle (Kee) integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
