Nineteenth century flag with zulfiqar from Java: See detailed photo athttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COLLECTIE_TROPENMUSEUM_Katoenen_banier_met_Arabische_kalligrafie_TMnr_5663-1.jpg(Dutch and Arabic translation needed!) All I can tell is that it includes thezulfikar (the stylizediconic split sword of Ali) besides the trivialthat it’s dark blue with white writing and that it’s oblong and it’s rather pentagonal — withparallel top and bottom edges and a squat tapering end at the fly, itstip roughly 90°; overall ratio about 12:25. As usual for Arabic-inscribed flags and matching the photo, this imageshows the hoist at the viewer’s right hand. I wonder how the reverselooks like.

Jogjakarta

image byIvan Sache, 8 September 2001

A documentary on Java, broadcasted by the French-German channel Arte,gave interesting information on the Sultanate of Jogjakarta (Yogyakarta).

When Indonesia became independent, all former princely states weresuppressed, except the Sultanate of Jogjakarta. The Sultan, father ofthe current one, had joined the anti-Dutch resistance, and was thereforeallowed to keep his title. Jogjakarta has now the status of SpecialAdministrative Region, as well as Atjeh (for the same reason).The current Sultan seems to have a great moral authority and joined thefirst street demonstrations who caused the fall of president Suharto.

The documentary showed an official ceremony held in the Sultan's palace. During the military parade, a few flags were rapidly seen. The first one was white with a coloured emblem, apparently mainly red, but I am not able to be more specific. The second one was a black rectangle with a yellow disc in the middle.
