The silk flag sewn to a rectangular black cloth into a banner, depicting a five clawed dragon chasing after flaming pearl amidst clouds, the triangular flag's sides with colored flaming patterns. Ming Dynasty period.
此戰旗為綠色飛魚紋三角形五色戰旗,應是明朝兵部尚書出戰外地路途高舉及鎮守要地城池懸掛之物。據《明史》載:明代飛魚從摩羯紋演變而來,上半身與龍蟒相同,區別於腹部有一對飛翼,腰部以下為魚尾。此戰旗飛魚腹部一對白色的飛翼,尾端魚尾向兩側張開,雲紋環繞飛魚四周,表達從天而降,威力無比。以彰顯明朝政府之強大。戰旗由於使用環境,保存下來的甚少,查閱歷史拍賣紀錄也少見戰旗,屬具有歷史與藝術價值的收藏品。
