Sweden flag 46 x 71" vintage

Country flag of Sweden, salvaged from an oceangoing ship.  The Swedish flag 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 Sweden, so it has been to the "homeland"! 

Natural material.  Stitched.  Light patina, light soil, moderate wear hemline.  No rips or tears. Smells like a ship.

Approximately 46" x 71".

The national flag consists of a gold Nordic cross (with the crossbar closer to the hoist side than the fly side) on a field of light blue.
