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 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, famously known as the Union Jack or the Union Flag.
The design of the Union Jack is a complex and historic combination of the flags of three of the United Kingdom’s constituent countries, layered together to symbolize their union:
- The Cross of St. George (a red cross on a white background) represents England.
- The Cross of St. Andrew (a white diagonal cross, or saltire) represents Scotland.
- The Cross of St. Patrick (a red diagonal cross, or saltire) represents Ireland (and today, Northern Ireland).
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for representing a British character (such as a soldier from any era, often called a “Tommy”), a scene at an embassy in London, or for historical and educational displays.
