Description

Banner from a church with heavy embroidery in silver and copper thread onto a half-circle of rust coloured velvet. Metal discs, coils and lozenges, green and red glass beads, and silver painted metal buttons are used to depicted a lush garden filled with a variety of flowers and birds. The velvet is lined with a heavy, pale yellow checked cloth and a backing of the same material is sewn to it along the circular edge, leaving the flat bottom unstitched; three loop tabs project from the top.
