Description

This is a commemorative ribbon made out of white silk. There is an ovular three-quarter profile of Abraham Lincoln in the center of the ribbon. A thick black rectangle surrounds the portrait. "We mourn our country's loss!" is printed in black lettering around the rectangle. There are also very small tassels on the left and right sides of the ribbon.
