AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Beautiful cotton flag of Austria. In good condition.
The red-white-red flag of Austria is among the oldest flags in the world (origin in the Middle Ages, ca. 13th century). According to the well-known legend of Duke Leopold V, the design arose after a battle when his white garments became bloodstained and a white band remained visible.
Size: 148 x 58 cm
2. Beautiful cotton flag of Switzerland from the 1970s. The white Swiss cross is loosely applied on the red background and sewn around.
The origin of the white cross dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was used by Swiss troops of the Eidgenossenschaft (the old confederation).
The symbol was officially established as the national flag in 1889.
The red field with white cross stood for Christian values, freedom, and unity among the cantons.
The flag is in good condition
Size: 138 x 120 cm
