[Regia-NA] Windsock banners?

[Douglas Sunlin]

Thanks, Mag! :) The History Channel had a special on King Arthur in which a 
"draco" made by the British group Brittania was used.

It's got a wooden head.
For some reason I feel that the one depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry (BT) was 
different - simply of fabric, without wood. Maybe its due to my exposure to 
Japanese-style windsocks, which are more like the ones we see at airports...

On manræden,
