A kettledrum cloth for an SS-Band Black velvet edged with silver lace terminating in a silver fringe. Five panels, the central one bearing a silver-embroidered eagle (early form) of the highest quality with the feathers picked out in black. A dark silver brocade death's head over bones of light silver brocade, each with white to silver-grey appliqués, on each of its neighboring panels to the left and right. Backed with black cotton. Complete with all the black ribbed silk attachment bands and leather straps. Dimensions ca. 200 x 30 cm. Extremely rare and possibly unique in this quality and completeness.
