This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a national flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is the national flag of Mexico.
The design is a vertical tricolor with the national coat of arms in the center. The elements of the flag are deeply symbolic:
- The green vertical stripe on the left represents hope.
- The white vertical stripe in the middle represents unity.
- The red vertical stripe on the right represents the blood of the national heroes.
- The most important feature is the Mexican Coat of Arms emblazoned in the center of the white stripe. This emblem depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus while devouring a rattlesnake. This powerful image is based on the Aztec legend regarding the founding of their capital city, Tenochtitlan (the site of modern-day Mexico City).
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for representing a Mexican character, a scene at an embassy or international event, or for educational displays.
