The red and white stripes are made of period, hand-loomed wool tape identical to that used on enlisted men’s uniforms to designate divisions within the Union Army during the Civil War. The attached wool cords and tassels may have been used originally to attach the flag to a staff.
This flag has been exhibited at several museums.
