Papua New Guinea Flag Patch

"The Papua New Guinea flag is composed of two triangles arranged diagonally. The left side is black and the right triangle is red. On the black triangle is a five-pointed five-white star, which represents the Southern Cross star cluster, and on the red triangle is a yellow bird of paradise symbol.

Black, red, and yellow are the traditional colors of Papua New Guinea’s style of art and clothing. Yellow bird of paradise, icons of Papua New Guinea culture. The symbolization of a flight with its wings open represents freedom and the moment the country was born as an independent nation.

5 stars represent Epsilon stars that are not as bright as the constellations of the Southern Cross, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and others. The Southern Cross represents the geographical position of the country in the world and its commitment to that country, as is the case in the Australian flag." (source: mappr)
