The flag of Eswatini is composed of three horizontal bands — a large central yellow-edged red band, and a light blue band above and beneath the red band. The red band is three times the height of the blue bands and bears a centered emblem made up of a large black and white Nguni shield covering two spears and a staff decorated with feather tassels, all placed horizontally.
