Flag Of Timor-Leste (East Timor) (Large) 5'x3' by OUTBOUND
The national flag of Timor-Leste (bandeira nacional de Timor-Leste) consists of a red field with the black isosceles triangle based on the hoist-side bearing a white five-pointed star in the center superimposed on the larger yellow triangle, also based on the hoist-side, that extends to the center of the flag.
According to the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, Part I, Section 15:
"The national flag is rectangular and is formed by two isosceles triangles, the bases of which are overlapping. One triangle is black and its height is equal to two-third of the length overlapped to the yellow triangle, whose height is equal to half the length of the Flag. In the centre of the black triangle there is a white star of five ends, meaning the light that guides. The white star has one of its ends turned towards the left side end of the flag. The remaining part of the flag is red."
With the constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste on November 28, 1975, the flag was officially adopted for the first time. The symbolism of this flag was given the following meaning:
Black represents the four centuries of colonial oppression.
The yellow arrowhead represents "the traces of colonialism in Timor-Leste's history" and the struggle for independence.
Red stands for the spilled blood of the population.
The white star symbolises hope for a better future.
Today, both the colours and their meanings are specified in the new Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste of 2002 (Part I, Section 15):
Black symbolises obscurantism, which must be overcome.
Yellow represents the wealth of the country.
Red symbolises the struggle for national liberation.
The white star, or "the light that guides", is white to represent peace.
Flags are powerful symbols in East Timorese culture and have a high cultural significance. They play a significant role in East Timorese identification as a community. Flags are automatically attributed a symbolic power, making them a sacred object.
