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 France, famously known as the French Tricolour (Tricolore français).
The design is a tricolor flag featuring three equal vertical bands. The colors originate from the time of the French Revolution (1789) and are deeply symbolic:
- The blue band (closest to the pole).
- The white band (in the center).
- The red band (on the outer edge).
The blue and red are the traditional colors of the city of Paris, while white was the traditional color of the French monarchy. The flag’s design is meant to represent the unification of the people and the monarchy. It has since become a global symbol of liberty and is strongly associated with the national motto of France: “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” (Liberty, equality, fraternity).
The flag piece itself is a small, plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for representing a French character, a scene at an embassy or international event, or for historical dioramas of the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, or World War II.
