About the Item
1. 19 Star and 15 stripe American flag
2. Large ornate star medallion on the bottom
3. Anchor
4. Tree and serpent - Adam Eve
5. Numerous other stars
The nineteen star, fifteen stripe flag dates from 1795 when the number of stars and stripes were increased to reflect the entry of Kentucky and Vermont into the Union. It is the style flag that flew at Fort Mc Henry in 1812 inspiring Francis Scott Key to write “The Star Spangled Banner“, now our national anthem. This arrangement was not changed until April, 1818 when the number of stars was increased to twenty, and the number if stripes reduced to thirteen, honoring the original colonies.
The embroidery is done in gold, navy and beige thread, and is of exceptionally fine quality indicating a very accomplished artisan as shown by the star emblem on the bottom of the bag.
