velvet banner with gold embroidery, displayed behind glass in what appears to be a museum exhibit. The banner is a deep green color and features a large, stylized lion rampant, wearing a crown and standing on what looks like waves or mountains. Below the lion, there is a crescent moon and a star, also embroidered in gold and white. Along the top of the banner, in large gold letters, is an inscription in Cyrillic script that reads "СВОБОДА ИЛИ СМЪРТЪ" (Svoboda ili Smŭrtŭ), which translates to "Freedom or Death". This is a significant historical slogan. The banner is likely part of the exhibit at the Museum of the April Uprising in Panagyurishte, Bulgaria, given the context of the slogan and its imagery, which is strongly associated with the Bulgarian national liberation movement. The museum environment suggests a controlled, indoor setting with lighting focused on the exhibit. No people are clearly visible interacting with the banner, but hints of an exhibit space and possibly a visitor can be seen in the background.
