These colors were first used in 1840's to symbolize the movement against the Conservative European Order established after Napoleon's defeat. During the Napoleonic Wars black represented servitude, red represented the battles to overcome that servitude, and gold represented freedom.This flag is dyed on silky, lustrous rayon and is hemmed and mounted to a black pole that includes a gold-painted spear.
