This fragment of a Colonel's standard from the Nassau-Weilburg regiment, painted between 1758 and 1784 by an anonymous artist, features the heraldic coat of arms of the House of Nassau-Weilburg, a powerful and influential German princely family. The standard showcases the family's coat of arms, depicting a shield surrounded by two lions. The imagery, typical of 18th-century heraldic art, serves as a visual symbol of the regiment's allegiance to the Nassau-Weilburg family. The faded paint and tattered fabric speak to the history and wear of this once-proud symbol of military tradition.
