DescriptionA piece of tan cloth covered with embroidered designs in dark red, royal blue, dark and light green, brown, and white threading. The central design is a branch with several spade-shaped leaves. A red shield stitched with the number 20 is placed over the branch and two criss-crossed blue flag poles with Czech flags are behind both the shield and branch. The date 28.10 1918-1938 is stitched in red across the top to commemorate Czechoslovakia's declaration of independence. On the lower half of the cloth are the words 'Pravda vitezi', translated to 'Truth wins', stitched in blue. The cloth is in a thin wooden frame with glass.On View
