The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White banner with a large crest in the center. The crest is divided into four sections, each with different designs: one has vertical black and white stripes, one has a black and white checkerboard pattern with two black figures, one has a white castle on a black background and two black figures on a white background, and one has horizontal black and white stripes. A crown sits atop the crest. The crest is surrounded by a wavy border and 14 black shapes resembling leaves or birds. Four circular designs with a cross and the letters "IHS" are positioned at the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right corners. A tassel hangs from the bottom. The banner is titled "Banner" and the artist is unknown.
