The Ornamental Fan is one of the more valuable everyday artifacts. Among the regular finds from the beach, the town and the forest, nothing sells for more. Artifact spots in all three places can hold it, with The Beach giving the best odds. Fishing Treasure Chests, Artifact Troves and a well-loved pet dog offer other ways to get one. The museum should get the first fan, which then counts toward Gunther's artifact milestones. A spare fan makes the Bridal Shirt at the Sewing Machine or simply sells for a good price. The Dwarf and Penny like it as a gift.
The in-game description reads: This exquisite fan most likely belonged to a noblewoman. Historians believe that the valley was a popular sixth-era vacation spot for the wealthy.
Location
Artifact spots on The Beach, in Cindersap Forest and in Pelican Town can hold an Ornamental Fan. The Beach gives the best chance, while the forest and town give it less often. Only a Hoe can dig these wriggling spots, so it pays to carry one everywhere. Far more spots show up in Winter, and Winter Root or Snow Yam often sits in them. Putting the Archaeologist enchantment on the Hoe doubles how often spots give artifacts.
Both kinds of Fishing Treasure Chest, normal and golden, can contain the fan.
Artifact Troves include it too. The Desert Trader in the Calico Desert accepts five Omni Geodes for one trove, and Clint opens it at the Blacksmith for a modest fee.
A pet dog with full friendship occasionally leaves a gift after a pat. The Ornamental Fan is one of its rarer gifts.
Museum
Donating the first Ornamental Fan to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Once donated, the fan counts toward the Skeleton Statue at fifteen artifacts and Rarecrow #7 at twenty. The same donation lifts the overall total, which pays out seeds, paintings and other prizes.
Prices
The Ornamental Fan sells for more than any of the regular artifacts found in beach, town or forest spots. Only the very rare Strange Dolls from those spots, and the Golden Mask from the desert, fetch more. A duplicate is a worthwhile sale, and reading the Treasure Appraisal Guide triples that price. A stack of spare fans then becomes a solid source of gold.
Gifts
The Dwarf and Penny like the Ornamental Fan. The fan pleases the Dwarf only once the Dwarvish Translation Guide has been earned.
Among those who dislike the Ornamental Fan are Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard. Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane dislike it as well, as do Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. The children Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too. The same goes for Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. Given its sale value, selling a spare fan beats giving it to anyone else.
Notes
Putting Cloth in the feed and an Ornamental Fan on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the Bridal Shirt. It is a white top made for a bride. The Sewing Machine is in Emily's house at 2 Willow Lane.
Beach artifact spots also hold the Anchor, the Dried Starfish, Glass Shards and the Nautilus Fossil. Town and forest spots hold many more. The fan can come from all three areas. A daily round through the beach, town and forest, digging every spot, gives the best chance of finding one.
