Elvis Presley 'Legend In Concert' Souvenir Handkerchief/Bandana

This is a white, square-shaped textile item, likely a handkerchief or bandana, featuring a graphic design related to Elvis Presley. The fabric appears to be a lightweight cotton or a cotton blend, with a somewhat sheer quality suggesting a fine weave. The overall color is a bright white. The central design prominently features a stylized black signature resembling 'Elvis' in a bold, cursive script. Surrounding and interspersed with the signature are several five-pointed stars in a muted gold or olive-green color with black outlines, varying in size to create a dynamic visual effect. Below the signature and stars, a larger graphic reads 'Legend' in a distinctive, retro-style font, also in a similar gold/olive-green color with black outlines, appearing to have a three-dimensional or shadowed effect. Directly beneath 'Legend' and slightly smaller, it states 'IN CONCERT' in black text. In the lower left corner, there is a logo for 'IMPERIAL PALACE Hotel & Casino • Las Vegas, Nevada', indicating the venue or perhaps a sponsor of the concert or event. The printing method appears to be screen printing, given the solid blocks of color and clear outlines. The item is unfolded and relatively flat in the image, showing minimal creasing. The edges are hemmed, suggesting a finished product. There is a small yellow sticker with '3.1' visible near the 'Elvis' signature, which might be an inventory or price tag. The overall condition appears good with no significant visible tears, stains, or fading of the print, though a darker smudge is faintly visible near the top right corner. The style and design elements suggest a vintage souvenir, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s, reflecting the era in which Elvis performed or the period immediately following his death when such memorabilia would have been popular. The craftsmanship seems typical for souvenir merchandise, prioritizing clear graphics over intricate detailing.
