"Fragment of a Ship Flag" is an anonymous work of art dating back to the 17th century. This artwork is a large, rectangular piece of fabric that appears to be a fragment of a ship's flag. The piece is tattered and worn, suggesting that it has seen much use. The flag is made of a coarse linen fabric that is sewn together in a patchwork pattern. The worn and fragmented nature of the piece is likely due to its use as a ship flag. This piece serves as a reminder of the past, and offers a glimpse into the world of seafaring during the 17th century.
