The top triangle is black, the one where the handle attaches is smaller and yellow, and the two at the sides are red. The area where the triangles meet is covered with two swirls, one green and yellow. The area surrounding the handle on both sides is covered with a black paper cut, and the area immediately surrounding the handle is painted orange. The fan has a narrow edging of black paper. It is inserted into a split in the handle, which is shaped like a pointed oval where it covers the fan, which is attached with two rivets.
