About this work

Wool bunting pennant flag. White field with red heptagon applique. The edges of the heptagon are concave and the center is cutout (meaning that the white circle in the center is the ground fabric). White paint outlines red spears (applique fabric) that radiate from the circle to the seven angles of the heptagon. Painted inside the white circle is a green laurel wreath. There are two blue cotton five-point star appliques arranged vertically next to the hoist. White cotton hoist with no grommets. There are two inscriptions on the hoist; the one on the front reads "2ndBrg 1st Veteran Army Corps" while the inscription on the reverse reads "RC Toy 49 N 9th Phila." The flag is machine-stitched.
