Qatar National Country Flag - 150cm x 90cm

Brand new - never used Outdoor Quality Flag.

This Auction is for...

1 very cool Qatar flag that measures 3 foot x 5 foot (approx 150cm x 90cm) and is made from Polyester. There are 2 metal grommets on this flag, for easy hanging.

The flag of Qatar has a proportion of 11:28. It is maroon with a broad white serrated band (nine white points) on the hoist side.

The meaning of Qatar’s flag is:

• The white color reflects the internationally recognized symbol of peace.
• The maroon color symbolizes the bloodshed during the several wars Qatar had undergone, particularly in the second half of the 19th century.
• The nine-point serrated line indicates that Qatar is the 9th member of the "reconciled Emirates" of the Persian Gulf in the wake of concluding the Qatari-British treaty in 1916.

The flag was officially adopted on July 9, 1971, although a nearly identical flag (only differing in proportion) had been used since 1949. It is very similar to the flag of the neighbouring country of Bahrain, which has fewer points, a 3:5 proportion, and a red colour instead of maroon. A common explanation of the differences between the two, is simply to distinguish them. A popular but fanciful tale referring to the maroon color and the similarity to the red Bahrain flag, is that maroon is what becomes of red fading in the Gulf sun.
