- Lot Description
Marble plaque, approx. 10 x 12 in. max. dimensions, 10 lbs 13 oz. Central image of flag with ten strips and single large star in canton and five small stars, one between each point, surrounded by scrollwork, acanthus leaves and flowers. Elaborately scrolled initials N.D.T.(?) sc.
Georgia Info, An Online Georgia Almanac notes: "After the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in November 1860, unofficial flags consisting of a single star on a solid background began appearing across the South. As each star on the US flag signified a state, a single star indicated that the state had withdrawn (or planned to withdraw) from the Union, which would make it a sovereign power."
This flag resembles Florida's "Chase flag," which had 13 stripes (red and white, blue canton, white star), and was the same as the Texas Navy flag (1836-1845). The Louisiana secessionist flag had 13 stripes, alternating blue-white-red-white, and a red canton with a gold star. However, Louisiana was the sixth state to secede, which may be the "five small-one large" star symbolism. All other secessionist flags had more elaborate seals and symbols, such as the pelican on Louisiana's flag (there was at least one with a pelican in the large star), the palmetto on South Carolina's, or the state seal on Virginia's. Many had two or three broad stripes, like the first Confederate National flag.
