About this work
Parasol with a cover of green changeant silk, with a fringe on top and along the edge. The cover is unlined and counts seven whalebone ribs. Along the cover, a double green cord with a metal ring that can be slid over the cover so that it remains closed. Long palisander wood stick, carved in a hexagonal shape, with two spheres between them. Halfway up, a black metal slide that can be pushed up, allowing the parasol to fold. Another second fold at the very top of the parasol. At the top, a small wooden knob.
