Description from the seller
1. Benin – National flag
The flag of Benin was adopted in 1959, shortly before the country gained independence from France on August 1, 1960. The design with green, yellow and red symbolizes African identity and national independence. After a period of replacement, the original flag was reintroduced in 1990.
Size: 280 x 145 cm
2. Togo – National flag
The flag of Togo was designed by artist Paul Ahyi and officially adopted on 27 April 1960, the day the country became independent from France. The five green and yellow bands and the red field with a white star form a recognizable symbol of Togolese national identity.
Size: 140 x 95 cm
3. Mali – National flag
The flag of Mali was officially adopted on 1 March 1961, after independence from France in 1960. The design consists of three vertical bands in green, yellow and red. The flag is descended from the previous flag of the Mali Federation, of which Senegal and French Sudan were part.
Size: 150 x 100 cm
4. Senegal – National flag
The Senegalese flag was introduced in 1960, when the country became independent from France. The design is based on the flag of the former Mali Federation. The three vertical bands in green, yellow and red were retained, but the original emblem in the center was replaced by a green five-pointed star. The flag has some damage, see the photos.
Size: 170 x 115 cm
