Description from the seller
Large Jolly Roger flag
The Jolly Roger was the famous pirate flag used by privateers and pirates from the 17th and 18th centuries. The flag was raised to intimidate enemy ships and make it clear that no mercy was expected if they resisted.
The name “Jolly Roger” might derive from the French “joli rouge” (beautiful red), referring to early red pirate flags, or from a nickname for death. The skull and crossbones stood for mortality and threat, a psychological weapon at sea.
Size: 90x151 cm
