The Frisian flag is a regional flag representing the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. It features a blue and red horizontal stripe pattern, with seven white pommels (or "frisian" symbols) arranged in a diagonal line. The flag's design reflects the cultural identity and heritage of the Frisian people. The flag was officially adopted in 1958, although its design has historical roots dating back to the 16th century. The colors and symbols are significant to the Frisian community, representing their unique language and traditions, which are distinct from the rest of the Netherlands.
