Ginkgo — Fanleaf Study (Specimen No. 002) skull or clasping them to aCollected during late season, once the leaf had begun to soften at the edges. Form remains intact; the characteristic fan shape is preserved, with a shallow division at the centre. Drying produces slight curling along the outer rim. A minor tear is present along one edge; it widens slightly during contraction but does not compromise the overall structure. The surface contracts unevenly, emphasising the fine radiating veins. Structure holds. Copper
