NL-2723688 The Flag of Friesland (Fryslân)

The Flag of the province of Friesland is the official flag of the Dutch province of Friesland (Fryslân).  It consists of four blue and three white diagonal stripes; in the white stripes are a total of seven red pompeblêden, leaves of yellow water-lily, that may resemble hearts.  Official  instructions with regards to this flag however, state explicitly that the leaves "should not be heart shaped".

This postcard only shows a portion of the Frisian Flag.  It came from Jj (5 November 2014) Postcrossing.
