    How to identify it

    In this collection the Republic of the Congo flag is recorded with green, yellow and red as its main colours, a center symbol layout — a charge placed in or near the middle of the field — and none of the tracked shapes (star, crescent, cross, sun, disc or triangle). Those three properties are what the colour, symbol and layout filters match on, so searching for that combination will return this flag together with any others built the same way.

    The field is split by a diagonal band, which none of the four layout buckets describes exactly; it is grouped under centre symbol in the finder.
