The image displays a framed, historical textile banner or flag, predominantly red, enclosed behind glass and mounted on a textured, light-colored wall. The banner features a large, central five-pointed star in metallic silver or grey fabric, outlined in white. Above the star, the words "BATALLON 1º DE LINEA" (Battalion 1st of the Line) are embroidered in a light, possibly silver or gold, thread. Surrounding the central star, several battle names and dates are embroidered in similar light-colored thread, each enclosed within a laurel wreath design. Visible inscriptions include: * "ARICA / 7 / DE / JUN / 1880" (top left of the star) * "SANGRA / 26 / JUN / 1881" (top right, towards the edge) * "TACNA / 26 / MAY / 1880" (left side of the star) * "DOLORES / 19 / NOV / 1879" (bottom left of the star) * "MIRAFLORES / 15 / DE / ENE / 1881" (bottom center of the star) * "LOS ANGELES / 22 / MAR / 1880" (bottom right of the star) * "PISAGUA / 2 / NOV / 1879" (right side of the star) A vertical gold-colored fringe separates this primary section of the banner from a partially visible second section on the right, which appears to be a continuation or a similar banner. This second section also displays a silver star and embroidered battle names such as "TACNA," "DOLORES," and "MIRAFLORES." The red fabric of the banner exhibits some creasing and folds. The wooden frame is dark brown, possibly mahogany. Reflections on the glass cover are visible, particularly in the upper right. To the upper right of the frame, a segment of a gilded, relief emblem or coat of arms is visible on the wall. The artifact is located in the city of Arica, Chile, likely within a museum or a historical institution.
