Description
Scope and content : Ch. 0025. Painted silk banner of pale grey gauze covered with fine coat of silvery white paint or glaze. This has apparently prevented tracing from passing to back of silk; for while the banner is painted on both sides, the outlines (except for eye) appear only on one. Upper part showing canopy has cracked, and over it has been pasted fr. from edge of another silk painting.
