Description
Wonderful WW1 memorabilia item featuring a skillfully embroidered osprey (I was told by a knowledgeable friend that this was not an eagle!) a US flag and shield and a "framed" photo of a sailor. I believe it is done on silk and it has a raised effect. Research suggested that these were embroidered in Japan to be sold to foreigners as souvenirs but I am not certain of that.The embroidery itself looks to be in very good condition for its age. There is one small brown spot, mostly hidden by the frame, above the ospreys wing, see last photo. The back looks rough, you may want to put a new paper backing on it. I believe the frame to be original and it is in good shape.
Measures 23.5" by 22" in the frame.
