The flag of the Republic of Central Lithuania, an unrecognized short-lived puppet republic of Poland, was established on 12 October 1920 and remained in use until 18 April 1922, when the state ceased to exist.[1]
The flag was officially defined as a red flag with eagle and Pahonia (a knight on a horse) on it.[2] It consists of 2 charges set next to each other in the middle. On the right is a silver (white) eagle, and on the left, a silver (white) Pahonia, a charge, that consists of a knight with a sword in his right hand, and a shield with the Cross of Lorraine in his left hand, that is sitting on a jumping horse.[3]
