Louisiana Miniature Flag
Each Louisiana small miniature desk flag measures 4″x6″ and is attached to a 10″ black plastic stick with a gold spear topper. These Louisiana flags make perfect table decorations. Black flag stand is not included, but is sold separately.
The flag of Louisiana consists of a heraldic charge called a "pelican in her piety," representing a mother pelican wounding her breast to feed her young from the blood. This symbol, emblematic of Christian charity (and also the Official State Bird, the Brown pelican), is also found on the Louisiana state seal. On the flag it is depicted above a ribbon with the state motto: "Union, Justice, and Confidence." The current flag was adopted in 1912.
