Mongolia's Flag
The National Flag of Mongolia is red with a vertical blue stripe down the middle. On the left hand red stripe of the flag is a yellow Soyombo (see the Soyombo page).
The Soyombo
The Soyombo is an old ideogram symbolising the Mongol's freedom and independence. As long ago as the 17th Century, it was depicted on the banners of warriors fighting against the Manchurian invaders and later, on the battle standards of the guerillas of the 1921 People's Revolution.
