This banner is preserved completely except for the left side border, which is mostly missing. A suspension loop, 4.7 cm long, is stitched to the top. The border of the head is sewn with two different fabrics: one samite with a floret pattern on a blue ground and one green plain weave. It has a double-faced head or infill. The front is made from two pieces of samite: one with scrolls on a greenish-blue ground, the other with medallions and a checked pattern on a white ground. The back is sewn with two pieces of the same fabric, dark brown twill damask with concentric diamonds. Two side streamers, of which only the right is complete, are made of plain woven blue silk, 3.2 cm wide. The three panels of the body are made of three different fabrics: blue plain weave, white damask on plain weave, and red twill. The three lower streamers, 3.6 cm for each, are joined at the top and bottom, having been cut from a single piece of silk. The edges are rolled neatly with blue silk threads. A piece of blue plain weave, 6.7 cm high, is stitched to the upper edge of the lower streamers. At the bottom is a trapezoid-shaped weighting board with floral patterns painted on both sides, 3.8 cm high.

The banner is narrow and elongated, well-preserved except for the mostly missing left side border. A 4.7 cm long suspension loop is stitched to the top. The border of the head is sewn using two different fabrics: the left side is made of Liao-style samite with a floret pattern on a blue background, while the right side is made of plain green silk. The banner has a double-layered head or infill. The front is composed of two pieces of samite: one with scrollwork on a greenish-blue ground, the other with medallions and a checkered pattern on a white ground. The back is sewn together from two pieces of the same fabric, dark brown twill damask with concentric diamond patterns. Two side streamers are attached, only the right one being complete; they are made of plain-woven blue silk, 3.2 cm wide. The three sections of the body are made from three different fabrics: blue plain weave, white damask on plain weave, and red twill. The three lower streamers, each 3.6 cm wide, are connected at the top and bottom as they were cut from a single piece of silk. The edges are neatly rolled with blue silk threads. A piece of blue plain weave, 6.7 cm high, is stitched to the upper edge of the lower streamers. At the bottom is a trapezoidal weighting board with floral patterns painted on both sides, 3.8 cm high.
