About the flag
A vertical strip at the hoist shows a red-on-white ornament based on traditional Belarusian woven and embroidered patterns, a folk-art touch almost unique among national flags.
How to spot it: A wide red band over a narrower green band, with a decorative red-and-white patterned strip running down the left edge.
