Ivan Mazepa's Hetman's Banner symbolized the highest Cossack power in Ukraine.
The banner was meant for the Ukrainian Hetman, Ivan Samoylovych in the Kremlin in Moscow in the years 1686-1688.
After removing him from power, the banner was granted to Hetman Ivan Mazepa.
After the Battle of Poltava in 1709, the banner was passed to Hetman Ivan Skoropadsky.
It was made of white and yellow silk damasks and painted and gilded on both sides.
