The '''Exapteriga''' (Slavonic: rapidia) is a fan made with a representation of a six-winged [[Seraphim]], the highest order of [[angel]], mounted on a pole or staff for hand carrying. The seraphim, according to Isaiah's vision of God, surround the throne of God in Heaven. The image of the seraphim is often engraved on a circular, usually metal, disk on the end of the staff.
