How it is put together
Nothing the measurement has a word for. It reads eight shapes off a picture: bands, a canton, a wedge at the pole, a disc. This flag is not any of them, so the space is left empty rather than filled with a description nobody took. The finder says what else it cannot see.
What is on it
Each of these is what this flag's own Wikipedia article says is on it, the sentence is underneath, so you can see what it rests on.

What we know about it
Juan Pablo Duarte designed it, and it first flew on February 28, 1844, the day after the Dominican War of Independence began. The first of them were made by María Trinidad Sánchez, Isabel Sosa, Concepción Bona and María de Jesús Pina. The colours are read as liberty, salvation and the blood of heroes. After the annexation to Spain from 1861 to 1865 the flag came back with the quarters on its fly side flipped, and the coat of arms at the intersection of the cross.
