銘文
鍾穎川堂敬送
Provenance
De-accessioned from the Pearl S. Buck House, Perkasie, PA, 1960’s

The victory banner is one of the Eight Buddhist Auspicious Objects,
and this pair of standards would likely have formed part of a larger set.

Yingchuan Tang is the clan name of the surname Zhong, which is
believed to have its origins in the Yingchuan region.
