Equestrian Regalia are Heraldic Banners on a truly impressive scale. The appliqué and embroidery was done for adjustable medieval horse barding made by Amy Hanson, of Misc. Etcetera. For an idea of the size, think a horse large enough to carry a knight in full armor.
This was created for the Middle Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
Since there are two sides to a horse, each banner had to be done twice! Look carefuly and you can see the slight difference in the two sides.
For the King of the Middle Kingdom:
For the Queen of the Middle Kingdom:
