Great Colombia Federal Republic, 1822(?): is refers by Mr.
Jaume Olle, with regard to the incorporation of the Province of
Quito (today Ecuador), diverse projects of Flags and Coat of Arms
arose for reflect the new geopolitical reality of the Nation. Its
probable that the Coat of Arms was located at the center if we
considered that the Republics of Colombia and Ecuador at the
moment maintain in their flags their respective blazons in the
same location. The three stars of six points alludes to the three
departments of the Great Colombia: Venezuela, Cundinamarca and
Quito. The graphics constitute only an artistic representation.

Great Colombia Federal Republic, 1822(?): It's a variant of
the previous artistic representation in which the Chief Quarter
of the Coat of Arms shows nine stars of six points in reference
to another proposal of geopolitical division for the country. The
graphics constitute only an artistic representation.

This is the flag attributed at the Bolivarian Museum in
Caracas to be the one of the Great Colombian Army Hussars used at
the battles of Ayacucho and Junin, in the early 1820s. It is a
regular 2:2 flag, with the Great Colombia tricolori
(yellow-blue-red) with equal heigth stripes, and the Great
Colombian CoA centered (without the caption REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA
around it), and a tricolori ribbon heading the arms (a phallanx,
a bundle of arrows and a bow, a right facing ax and two upside
looking cornucopias). It wears the caption, on the yellow stripe
"VENCEDOR EN AYACVCHO" ("Victor at
Ayacucho"), and on the red stripe "LIBERTADOR DEL
PERV" ("Liberator of Peru").
The actual flag from which I made the sketch to give you this
image is housed at the Bolivarian Museum in Caracas. It has
suffered from heavy colour damage, losing much of its hue to the
point of being practcaly undescipherable. I watched closely and
attentively, determinig finally that it had to be a tricolori
(the red stripe had achieved a purplish-blue hue over the years).
But I can accept the fact that the colors I presented might be
wrong. However, the details are right. This flag can be seen the
same way on its reverse.
