Fana

Unknown artist

Processionsfana painted on a grupper side fabric (tuskraft) with double sided painting (probably oil) and with the same motif on both sides: St. Olof and St. Laurentius on the upper part and vertical wide stripes on the lower. St Olof is crowned, with a red livery with a hermelin-adorned hem, a beetle in one hand and its attribute the ax in the other. The Saint Laurentius is dressed in white alba with the deacon sign in the middle of the hem with a green Dalmatia over, holding a book in one hand and its attribute the halfster in the other. Along the sides and the hem of the motif mirror, there is a wide stretcher now in pink with flat-painted roses and outside this yellow edge. Under this, the fan is painted with impending vertical green and red stripes/tongues decorated with diagonal squares/rhombus in red and green, even these with yellow edge moldings. The tongues are uncut. Possibly several details have been gilded before. Remains are visible among glorias, signs and stretcher ornaments. The tuskraft weave is woven from a coarse single-wire Z-spun loom in both warp and weft. Since the 1960s, the fan has been ejected with water bath, seedler-dried and then sewn towards brown silk ropes towards the “back.” Inscribed in a ledger in 1870.
