Original Philippine WWI Era National Hand-Painted Flag - 30 x 40”
-
Original Item. Only One Available. The Philippine national flag has a rectangular design that consists of a white equilateral triangle, symbolizing liberty, equality and fraternity; a horizontal blue stripe for peace, truth, and justice; and a horizontal red stripe for patriotism and valor. In the center of the white triangle is an eight-rayed golden sun symbolizing unity, freedom, people's democracy, and sovereignty. Each ray represents a province or district with significant involvement in the 1896 Philippine Revolution against Spain; these are the provinces Bulacan, Cavite, Pampanga, Laguna, Batangas, Tarlac, and Nueva Ecija (some sources specify other provinces as alternatives to some of these[a]) and the district of Morong (modern-day province of Rizal).
This is a great WWI Era Philippine national flag with a gorgeous hand-painted sun with a face! The paint of the sun is a bit worn as shown but the patina is fabulous. The flag measures roughly 30 x 40” and is in good shape overall with some small tears in spots across the flag.
A great example, ready for further research and display.
