Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
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
It is the only national flag worldwide with a different design on each side: the obverse carries the national seal of Paraguay and the reverse the seal of the treasury, a difference that comes from the period when José de Francia was in power. First adopted in 1842, the triband was revised in 2013 towards its original design; the colours are believed to be inspired by the flag of France, to show independence and liberty.
