A 25-Star American National flag commemorating Arkansas statehood on June 15, 1836, Made Circa 1821, Updated 1836 – 1837 The hand-sewn double-appliqued cotton muslin stars configured in five straight rows, with some variation to the vertical axis, on the four-piece hand-sewn wool bunting canton. The canton, of a rare cornflower blue color atypical of the period, is hand-sewn to the stripes, and sits on a red stripe, also known as a "war" or "blood" stripe. The stripes are hand-sewn wool bunting; there are multiple whip-stitched grommets throughout the linen sleeve, which still retains a period hemp rope threaded through them. Approximately 9 ft. 3 in. by 12 ft. 4 in.
