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 Australia.
The design of the flag is a Blue Ensign that features three prominent symbols, each with a specific meaning:
- The Union Jack is in the canton (the upper left quarter). It symbolizes Australia’s history as a collection of six British colonies and its continued membership in the Commonwealth of Nations.
- Below the Union Jack is the large, seven-pointed Commonwealth Star. Six of the points represent the original six states of Australia, while the seventh point represents the country’s territories.
- The right side of the flag displays the Southern Cross constellation, which is composed of five white stars. This constellation is one of the most distinctive features of the night sky in the Southern Hemisphere and represents Australia’s geography.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for representing an Australian character (such as a soldier, often called a “Digger”), or for use in scenes at an embassy, international sporting event, or educational display.
