Banner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a banner with an eagle. The banner hangs from a rod at the top. The banner has a border with a vine pattern. In the center is a two-headed eagle with its wings spread out. The heads face outer edges of the image. A crown sits atop the heads. A shield with a cross is in the center of the eagle's body. Two ribbon banners on either side of the crown have text and images on them.
