Description of the flag

The flag is white with burgundian red cross in the militar spanish style, based on the banner of the Charcas Audiency. Today the white is peace, purity and faith; and the red is the blood. [medXX]

There are few different detailed patterns of the saltire.

Simplified variant

In front of the presidental palace of La Paz, the soldiers of the presidental guard hang up a simplified version: A simple red cross on white back ground. Seems to be an accepted simple version of the official flag of Chuquisaca.
