Earliest documented Flags in Estontetso[]

	Engraved images, 4000-5000 years old, obviously showing flags, banners or standards, have been found in 130 AP close to Leumund in Estontetso. Their find context leaves no doubt that such flags were used already back then and that they had the same function as today, namely to indicate ranks and distinguish individuals and groups. It is being discussed whether the flags with a circle really mean towns or fenced-in settlements. The difference between triangular and square flags is still completely unclear.

Flags of the administrative subdivisions have 4/3/2 horizontal or vertical stripes using colours from the flag of their superior entity.

The flags of metropolises cities and towns are decorated by attached triangles or by streamers, which to distinguishes them from rural entities.
