Banner Probably of Francesco II de' Medici, 1735

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The banner is square-shaped and made of fabric, with a crumpled appearance. The fabric is light-colored with a geometric pattern along the edges, featuring triangles. A darker design is centered on the banner, consisting of a circle and a half-circle overlapping, with five dots in a cross shape within the circle and half-circle. Above this design, there is a four-leaf clover-like shape. The edges of the banner are rough and torn in some places. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
