Faroe Islands flag 41 x 54" vintage

A vintage national flag of the Faroe Islands (an autonomous territory of Denmark), salvaged from an oceangoing ship.  The Faroe Islands flag, also known as the "Merkið", would have been the vessel's "flag of convenience" or "courtesy flag" and was flown by a vessel which actually called (visited) a port in the Faroe Islands, so it has been to the "homeland"! 

Blended natural (?) material.  Screened.  Medium patina, medium soil, medium wear.  No rips or tears. Smells like a ship.

Appx 41" x 54". 

The national flag consists of an offset (to the left) red Nordic cross.  The red cross is fimbriated azure and is set on a white field.
