<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9845480, member: 2844&quot;]The fan is known as a &#039;mandarin fan&#039;, or a &#039;fan of a hundred faces&#039;. It was made for export in the Canton region ca 1860. It is a very nice one.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The other item is not a dagger but a ceremonial stake called a &#039;phurba&#039;. It is associated with exorcism (among others), and can transform negative energy to positive.</p><p>Yours is a decorative one though, never used in ceremony. It was made in the Himalayas and set with beautiful semi-precious stones and possibly some glass or resin. The small reddish stones are usually rubies.</p><p>I hope the whitish material is not ivory, because this is a recent piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
