How it is put together
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 we know about it
Adopted 1937 (in use since the 17th century)
The world's oldest tricolor, from the orange-white-blue Prince's Flag of William of Orange. The orange band faded to red.
