'Mount' with vanes of feathers intact
lotus flower showing the whorl of petals and sepals
'Palmate'
'Capitulum' in the form of a papyrus umbel & calyces
Radiating shafts of the feathers with vanes removed
'handle' or 'shaft' in the form of a stem
'knob', an inverted umbel of papyrus or corolla of the lotus
flower

About 50 feathers: i.e. 25 on each side.
It appears that the shafts of the feathers were stripped of their
'vanes' for a short distance above the quills: thus causing a
short interval of bare shafts - like radii - around the 'palmate'
(of this fan) into which the quills of the feathers were
inserted, resembling much the radiating framework (sticks) of a
modern folding fan.
