From the seller's notes
This large Soviet banner is a double-sided red ceremonial flag (znamya) featuring portraits of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin on one side and the state emblem of the USSR on the reverse. The portraits and lettering are executed in silver-toned embroidery and paint stenciling, and the banner is finished with a classic golden fringe. At about 75 x 35 inches, it is an impressive display piece for collectors of Soviet political memorabilia.
