Three equal horizontal bands of red, white and black, with the golden Eagle of Saladin centred on the white band. Red represents the period before the 1952 revolution; white the bloodless revolution itself; black the end of British colonial oppression. The Eagle of Saladin recalls the 12th-century Sultan. The pan-Arab colours of red, white and black are shared with Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan and Palestine. Each state distinguishes itself with central emblems or stars.
