French antique church banner made of cotton and coloured glued paper. From a convent in the south of France.
This one has the initials IHS in its centre. Textured gold paper.

The top of the banner is a solid wooden bar sewn into the fabric.
No loop or string attached to the wooden bar but one hole in it.
One large repair at the front. Two patches at the back.

I have many other banners from the same convent. Most of them will have an inscription in ink at the back to identify the motif and the partly erased stamp from the convent.

Imperfections, such as stains, creases or holes, commensurate with age and use are to be expected:
- the paper is peeling or is damaged in places
- the loop that is on most banners at the top has made holes or damages when the banner was rolled and stored.
- staining and discolouration
- small holes 
- wear at the top and sometimes tears or stains
- asymetrical / irregular design
- metallic paint has corroded
- creases and damage at the bottom because they were in stotage for a long time.

First half of the 20th Century.

Width: 84.8 cm / 33 inches 
Total length: approx. 230 cm / 90.55 inches
