![[Guinea Bissau flag]](../images/g/gw.gif)
Yellow over green bicolour with red vertical stripe at hoist
containing a black five-pointed star.
Željko Heimer, 23 Oct 2001
The symbolism of this flag is inherited from the symbolism of
Ghana, from which it comes: an arrangement
of the pan-african colours with the black star of Africa added.
Its proportions are, as in the party
flag, 1:2.
Jorge Candeias, 02 Nov 1999
The Album 2000 [pay00] says
«![[CSW/CSW]](../misc/oooooo.gif){kind=small}
1:2~».
The construction details are given, but since the overall ratio is
approximate, the constr details are inevitably so. The two
horizontal stripes are of the same size, of course, and the width of
the vertical stripe is one third of the total length.
The star apears to be inscribed in a circle with the center in the
midpoint of the red stripe and of diameter equal to two units used on
the scheeme (i.e. 1/3 of hoist).
