The panels are bordered by a band of checkered pattern in sections of red, green, white, blue and beige. Along the top of the banner, above the border, is a horizontal panel of repeating triangles (mountains?) with a bird's foot shape in the space between each triangle. Both sides of the banner taper in to points. Edged with red fabric and ten looped tabs along the sides and top edge.
