A saltire cross, the diagonal Saint Andrew's cross, runs across the field and divides it into bold triangular and rectangular sections. Red and white appear in smaller areas, and a white triangular wedge sits against the edge of the pennant. The gold circular roundel is the focal point, holding the double-headed eagle in a crisp flat-vector style. A little black provides a sharp edge to the outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Andrew's cross recalls the naval ensign of the Russian Empire, and the double-headed eagle is the imperial emblem of the Romanov dynasty. The pennant is a heraldic form used to mark rank and office at sea. Its title ties it to a grand duchess and to Estonia, placing it in the Baltic lands that were part of the Russian Empire in the late imperial era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the Hand, Turning Slowly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as you drink, so the navy field and the saltire pass across your view as the cup rotates. The gold roundel catches the light near the handle, where your attention rests. Set on a desk or a shelf, the pennant becomes a small, steady piece of imperial heraldry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":51672941166872,"sku":"26914262521350026384","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":51672941199640,"sku":"22098027104632628722","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/broad-pennant-of-the-grand-duchess-of-russia-estonia-white-coffee-mug-11oz-position1.webp?v=1772635282","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/broad-pennant-of-the-grand-duchess-of-russia-estonia-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
