 Sections of the turned hard-wood handle are painted black but it is primarily gilded. 

There is wear consistent with being twirled between the fingers. Many screen handles are tactile.

There is a  single yellow rose with stem to the center. Or perhaps it started life as white but the varnish has darkened.

The rose is surrounded by a garland of stylized flora which is interestingly asymmetrical. 

There are losses to varnish

There are some losses to the varnish on the leaves of the rose.

There are some losses to the paintwork which is built in layers. The green seems to have rejected the varnish. 

The flowers are finely painted.
