The United States arms is positioned in the flag's center. The arms consists of an embroidered, gold-colored bald eagle holding an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left talon. The eagle holds in its beak a painted, gold-outlined scroll with the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Latin for "one out of many"). A shield with red and white stripes and a blue upper portion is positioned on the eagle's breast. The eagle has a beaded eye. Thirteen embroidered gold stars are arranged in an arc above the arms, with 27 gold rays rising above the stars. The text "PRESENTED BY WARREN CO. O." appears at the top of the flag. The battle name "CHICKAMAUGA" appears to the left of the arms, and the battle name "MISSION RIDGE" appears to the right. Gold text in a gold-outlined scroll below the arms reads: "35th REGIMENT, O.V.I." The flag's gold-knotted plied fringe is 4.5 cm in length. The rectangular flag measures 190 cm high by 191 cm wide. Ohio battle flags were on display at the Ohio Statehouse until the 1960s, when the state formed a committee to oversee the efforts to restore the fragile flags. Some of the battle flags were on display on the Plaza Level of the Ohio Historical Society from 1970 until 1989. For conservation reasons, the flags have been in storage since 1989. In the 1960s, the collection was photographed and commercial artist Robert Needham painted illustrations of many Civil War flags. Photographs of the flags and the paintings are now part of the society's archival collections. View on Ohio Memory.
