A richly embroidered textile banner, approximately 1.5 meters in height, is displayed against a plain white wall. The banner is predominantly red velvet, extensively decorated with gold and white embroidery, sequins, and small beads. It is suspended from a horizontal metal rod with silver-colored finials on each end, supported by four dark red fabric loops. The upper section of the banner features white embroidered text: "NAÇÃO DO MARACATU", "PORTO RICO", and "FUNDADO EM 1916". Below this inscription, a stylized boat or ship motif, rendered in silver and gold tones with orange bead accents, is depicted above a wavy green embroidered line. The middle and lower sections are covered in intricate, curvilinear gold embroidery, forming elaborate scroll and floral patterns. The year "1999" is embroidered in white near the bottom center of the banner. The edges of the banner are fringed with gold-colored threads and beads. Two small, gold-colored tassels hang from thin cords at the lower corners, with another cord extending from the bottom center. Shadows cast on the white wall suggest a light source from the upper front. The item is professionally displayed in an exhibition setting, identified as being in the **Museu Afro Brasil, located in Parque Ibirapuera, São Paulo, Brazil**.
