Description

Irregular four-sided piece of natural cotton blend (?) tricot knit, irregularly sewn to a slightly-larger piece black cotton blend (?) knit to give a narrow black border. (Was it intended to evoke a copper?) Printed with a coloured image of the original silver Queen's Baton used in the 1994 Commonwealth Games, in Victoria, BC. The image of the baton, [probably life-sized], shaped like a stylized, elongated hourglass, has three integrated symbols of the participating indigenous artists. [from bottom to top] wolf [facsimile signature of "Charles Elliott 9/93"; raven [facsimile signature "ATfhompson Oct, 1993"], and eagle with frog in its mouth [facsimile signature of "Richard Hunt//O.B.C/93"]. Colours are dark red, black, dark green, medium blue and deep yellow. Image marked "TM" and "(copyright symbol) NATIVE PARTICIPATION COMMITTEE"). Title block, in light blue stylized unconnected script font: "the/Queen's/Baton/TM". Bottom text block, in light blue, reads: "XV Commonwealth Games TM XV Jeux du Commonwealth TM/AUGUST 18-28 AOUT 1994"
