A sledging flag in the form of a forked pennant. It is made of silk in three parts: a white square section on the left with two red strips of fabric appliquéd to form a St George's Cross; and a tail section consisting of a white upper part and a black lower part. The tail is decorated with the emblem (a fox on a red shield), a silver metalwork six-pointed star, and a textile strip embroidered with the motto ('Res non verba' – 'Deeds, not words'). There is a black and white border around the tail section, and a black cord edging all the way around the flag, with two black cord tassels at the corners. A black piece of silk is stitched to the left/pole edge of the flag to form a tube. The flag is stitched to a board.
