These gilt and gold buillon epaulets were worn by General Andrew Jackson, circa 1815. The straps are embroidered with metallic thread and sequins on red wool; the linings are of yellow silk on a Briston board foundation. There are three rows of bullion fringe. The crescents are embroidered in the same style as the straps.
