The beautiful stitching and design showcase the pride and patriotism of the original owner. It is a one-of-a-kind item that would make a great addition to any collection of original period items.

There is some moisture damage causing some bleeding of the colors on the flags and eagle. Measures 18 X 18 inches. Embroidered on silk with gold bullion embroidery edges.
