Description: | A rectangular flag or banner, made from copper alloy, intended as a rotating harness decoration. A cylindrical extension runs along one side of the flag and in this the pivot would have sat. One one side is the image of a butterfly with wings shortened to fit the available space. On the other, though less clearly surviving, is a bird, an eagle or other bird of prey, apparently perched on a bough and with head turned to right. There appear to be traces of enamel and gilding but the object was not available for long enough for this to be certain or for dimensions to be taken.
