Description

Regimental colour or capitana flag of infantry, late 16th or early 17th centuries. It is possible though uncertain that it belonged to the company of a nicknamed Captain Jove, of Asturian origin. Source: Manzano 1997 [mzn97], from the original by Luis Grávalos (co-author of Calvo and Grávalos 1983 [cag83]).
