Notes

The Double-Notched Butterfly is finely sculpted and polished with wide thin flanges. The banding of the slate is subtle. There are several chips along the lower edges that appear archaic. On one side of the stone A. B. Devers Cincinnati is written in black and A 1822/2673 is written in black over white pigment. Two large Xs are written in graphite on this side which is also discolored from what appears to be historic treatment of this bannerstone.
