Description
Scarf designed for the Silver Jubilee for Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Blue square with narrow blue, white, red and black borders: in corners under a crown are two rampant lions above a Tudor rose with a thistle and shamrock. Between corners are three arches with two variations on the Tudor rose: central arch has the Tudor rose with a thistle and shamrock while the two outer aches have three Tudor roses. The central blue field has two borders that frame an "E" surmounted by a crown enclosed by small Tudor roses. An inner border has white Tudor roses on red with an outer border alternating the years "1952" and "1977" in black on a white ground.
