There was a North Caucasian Emirate, centered in the present-day
republic of Daghestan.
Harald Müller, 08 May 1996
This Emirate was created in Vedeno, in current
Chechnya.

The “Official” Emirate flag is probably the one described
by Trembicky, but later patterns show the flag with five
pointed stars. First flags were probably manufactured from the sponsors
of emirate: Georgia and Azerbaijan. [There were specific flags for the
Chechen and the
Ingush within the Emirate.]
Bolshevik promises to the Avars, Chechen,
Ingush etc., for a wide autonomy, changed the alliances. After that the
bolshevik take Makhachkala (30-3-1920) flags must be manufactured locally
(or in houses) and pattern most followed was surely the five pointed stars.
13 November 1920 emirate was ended de facto. Resistence in the mountains
follow until May 1921, and flag disppear for always.

On coins and banknotes of this state there are the national symbols:
Znamierowski [zna99] shows (page 106) a
flag for «Dagestan (1918-21)» wich fits perfectly... It is green, and the
lying crescent and the 3 stars are white.

Isnʼt this crescent and star arrangement terribly anthropomorphic? It
sure looks like a smiley to me... And remember that anthropomorphism is
rarely a cultural bias (quite obvious, considering the scope of
anthropomorphism itself — unless we're refering non-human cultures, of
course...).
