MRF-46-CYPRUS Cyprus 4” x 6” Staff Mounted Rayon

Description

PRICING IS PER FLAG. MININUM ORDER OF 12 FLAGS. The national flag of Cyprus came into use on August 16, 1960, under the Zurich and London Agreements, whereby a constitution was drafted and Cyprus was proclaimed an independent state. The design of the flag deliberately employs peaceful and neutral symbols in an attempt to indicate harmony between the rival Greek and Turkish communities, an ideal that has not yet been realized. The flag features the shape of the entirety of the island, with two olive branches below (a symbol of peace between the island’s two communities) on white (another symbol of peace). The olive branches signify peace between the Greeks and Turks. The map on the flag is a copper-orange color, symbolizing the large deposits of copper ore on the island.

4″ x 6” rayon flag mounted on a 10” black plastic staff with a gold spear tip, base sold separately.
