861. 16-STAR AMERICAN NATIONAL FLAG,

This configuration and having only 11 stripes gives great visual impact to this flag. Stars are hand-sewn utilizing a running stitch. Six lower stripes are pieced secondary to scarcity of available material. Entire flag is hand-sewn cotton and hemmed. Hoist is rolled into a pocket containing a rope. Tennessee was admitted as the 16th State. Ca late 1860s to 1870s. 17.6" x 27.75".
Mellow oxidation to stars and white stripes, several holes with fabric loss, windshear damage both ends 11th stripe, and some staining.
