Description of the Flag

The flag is horizontally divided in light blue over white, with a coat-of-arms-like emblem centered thereon above the lettering "Partido Povo Timor" — the party's name without the smaller words (thus reading "Party People Timor") in yellow capitals edged black. The emblem, read as a coat of arms, is: party per fess argent and argent (?!), a roundel or (windmill stone? punctured coin?) and a pair of crossed daggers proper, ineschutheon “in heart” with Portugal modern. Crest: kaibauk crown, red scroll like wreath and mantling. For supporters, two purple roosters, motto "Timor-Dili" on a golden scroll.
