Glazed cotton, printed parade flag with 8 stars in a medallion configuration, with one slightly larger star at center surrounded by a ring of seven stars, 3.125 x 4.625 in., mounted on wooden dowel. Most likely made during the Civil War period to commemorate Virginia's secession from the Union. On April 17, 1861, Virginia became the 8th Confederate state to secede. While Northerners waved 13-star parade flags and flags with the full star count, some Southerners waved 7, 8, and 9-star flags to show their loyalty to the Confederacy. Condition: Few light stains on flag; even toning to flag.
