The national flag of Oman consists of three stripes (white, green, and red) with a red bar on the left that contains the national emblem of Oman (Dagger and two swords). White has been associated historically with the Imam, the religious leader of Oman, and at times the political rival to the ruling Sultan. It also symbolizes peace. Green is traditionally associated with the Jabal al-Akdar, or “Green Mountains,” which lie toward the north of the country. Red is a common color in Gulf state flags. The national emblem is said to date back to the 18th century. A curved dagger is fastened over a pair of crossed swords. An ornate horsebit links the weapons. Perfect for special events, school projects, churches, civic organizations, colleges. Great for displaying indoors or outdoors although we recommend our top quality nylon outdoor display flags if you are going to display your flag outdoors for prolonged periods of time in all weather.
