In the official site of Colombia's Amazonas Department, in the
section
dedicated to the departmental flag we see the flag we have above,
but in the section
for the Governor there's a big
photo showing the Governor and behind her a flag (also a
smaller one on her office desk) which has the same stripes as the
flag we know, but the figures and the star are replaced by the
coat of arms of the department.
Paraskevas Renesis, 5 may 2005
Usually there are no Governor flags in Colombia: and they
often use the Department flag on their offices. This could be a
variant of the Amazonas Department flag. Most of the times, there
is a plain Department flag (colors only) but when in official
duties, they usually use the Department flag charged with the
Department's respective Coat of Arms. This also apply on desk
flags, as you can see in the same picture.
E.R., 5 may 2005
In the official website of the Government of the Department of
Amazonas at <www.amazonas.gov.co/>,
one can see the description of the flag: The dimensions of the
flag are: 2.10 mts. long x 1.30 mts wide, with color distributed
as follows: Green 90 cms, Mustard Yellow 8 cms and white 32 cms.
The silhouettes are: an Indian 29 cms long x 23 cms tall; a tiger
37 cms long x 15 cms tall; a star having 20 cms between each of
its tips. The flag was adopted by Decree Number 090 of August 21,
1974.
Regarding the coat of arms, this site
mentions that it was adopted by Bill Number 020 of the Department
Assembly on March 2, 1995. The description is the Amaon river
bordering the land, inscribed in the shape of a local flower
called Victoria Regia, with red/yellow feathers on the borders
symbolizing the Indian Chiefs' wisdom.
