Banner found in the 14th and 15th centuries.
They can be attached to the shaft along one vertical side, but can also have a horizontal attachment added along the top.
The fabric is then held taut even without wind.
They can be decorated with fringes along their edges and a long strip of fabric at the top that flies in the wind.
The emblems are most often made with appliquéd motifs (fabric cut then sewn), or by painting when there is more detail.
