Description
Represent the nation of East Timor outside your home or business with our weather-resistant, sturdy flag!
Our East Timor flag is manufactured in the USA from premium nylon fabric, a lightweight material that flies regally in even mild winds. Nylon also dries quickly after rain, which helps to prevent mildew growth and water damage to your flag. Additionally, the design is digitally printed for vivid, bright colors that are resistant to sun damage.
These flags are equipped with a durable canvas heading and brass grommets for secure attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. For recommendations on which size to get, refer to our table of standard flagpole heights and their matching flag size.

East Timor Flag Meaning & History
The flag of East Timor was first designed on November 28, 1975, the day before the country declared independence. A few days later, Indonesia invaded the country, and the flag became a symbol of resistance. East Timor gained independence in 2002 and officially adopted the flag as its national symbol.
The red background represents the struggle for liberation and the bloodshed in the fight for independence. The black triangle symbolizes the nation’s history as a colony, while the surrounding yellow stands for the country's wealth. The white star is for peace and hope.
