Ribbon
circa 1746 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Pink silk ribbon, with a stamped design commemorating the defeat of the Jacobite Rebellion in 1746 by the Duke of Cumberland. The design consists of the Royal arms, flanked by scrolling banners on either side, the left reading GLORIOUS WILLIAM and the right REBELLION CRUSH D. The rest of the ground is scattered with flowers and arabesques.
The stamp was apparently wider than the width of the ribbon, so the design is slightly truncated at top and bottom edges. It reads horizontally repeating along the length of the ribbon.
