Landsknecht campaign banner

My reenactment group has a tradition of making a new banner every year, as a symbol of the new year. It is presented in may, when the summer begins, and in the end of the year it is teared to shreds and everyone who was members during the campaign gets a slice each, to keep as a memory. This banner is made by me for this years' campaign. The rose is a symbol for our group, and as we just bought a small cannon the symbolism of the cannons is quite obvious. It measures 1.40x2.10 m, the material is fine silk that has been hand painted. It took about 20 hours to make.
