AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three large West African flags
1. Large cotton flag of Niger with the classic design of a green upper stripe, a white middle stripe, and an orange lower stripe, with an orange sewn-on sun in the center. Made in the 1970s.
The orange sun in the center is cut out separately and hand-sewn onto the white stripe, rather than printed or screen-printed. This points to an artisanal and durable production method, as was often used for institutional, ceremonial, or decorative flags. This technique provides a nice relief effect and longer durability.
The Niger flag has been officially in use since 1959, just before independence in 1960.
The flag is in good condition aside from stains on the left side.
Dimensions: 182 x 303 cm
2. National flag of Togo, made of cotton with a hand-painted white star on the red canton and the bands. The flag shows the five horizontal green and yellow stripes and the distinctive white five-pointed star.
Dimensions: 142 x 286 cm
Manufactured in the 1970s; the material is cotton.
This specimen shows light signs of use, in keeping with age and use. The colors are still bright.
The flag of Togo was officially adopted in 1960 at independence from France. The design is attributed to artist Paul Ahyi.
3. Beautiful large cotton flag of Guinea (Guinée-Conakry), a country in West Africa. The flag has the official colors red, yellow, and green.
Guinea became independent from France on October 2, 1958, under the leadership of Ahmed Sékou Touré. It was the first French colony in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence.
Dimensions: 148 x 245 cm
