Barbados Flag SKU: BRB35P
The national flag of Barbados was officially adopted on November 30, 1966, which was also Independence Day from Great Britain. The flag is a triband of two vertical stripes of ultramarine separated by a stripe of gold. The symbol in the centre panel is the Trident of the mythical sea god Neptune. This symbol is taken from the Seal of the colony which was replaced by the Barbados Coat of Arms. The trident head - also known as the 'broken trident' - symbolizes Barbados' independence from Great Britain. The colonial coat of arms included a trident. Each point of the trident represents a component of democracy.
