This faded and damaged banner, likely dating from 1820-1844, was created by an unknown artist. It is a visual artifact of military history, depicting a crowned "W" with the inscription "AFDEELING KURASSIERS NO 1." The banner's central imagery suggests it belonged to the first detachment of Curaissiers, likely a military unit. Its faded colors and tattered edges reveal a long history of service, offering a glimpse into the past and its impact on tangible objects. The banner's yellow-cream background, gold fringe, and olive branch border suggest a period design, reflecting the aesthetics of the early 19th century.
