Scope and ContentFront
Illustration
The main illustration is in two identical parts, one in each top corner. They depict a scene in a field with a single tree and several pink flowers. In the distance are two more fields in different shades of green behind which a yellow sun can be seen with a rainbow emanating from it. The upper section of this illustration is the blue sky. This detail continues across the extreme top of the banner, bridging the two inverse illustrations.
Central to the bottom third of the banner is a large peace/'ban the bomb' symbol. On either side of this are two thin green olive branches.
Text
Beginning approximately level with the base of the peace symbol and arching over the top of it and beneath the blue sky linking the illustrations is the text "Sale CND". These are in a very large, uppercase black font.
Reverse
Illustration
In the top left and bottom right corners are two more peace/'ban the bomb' symbols. Beneath the left side one and above the right side one are identical green olive branches, similar to those on the front.
Text
Occupying the centre of the banner are very large, uppercase letters spelling, over two lines, "CND Sale".

Materials
3 ply, thick cotton material, stitched together around all edges, except the base, which is open. All the text and illustrations are cotton materials of various textures, embroidered onto the outer pieces of the banner material.
Hanging mechanism
There are openings at the bottom left and right corners, stitched closed at the top, making sleeves for poles to be inserted. There is a small vertical incision in the hem at the top right corner (from reverse perspective), presumably to allow a pole to be inserted horizontally and lend extra support at the top.
