Description

The flag of Barbados features three vertical stripes of ultramarine and gold.
The two blue stripes represent the sea and sky surrounding the island nation.
The golden center stripe symbolizes the sandy beaches of Barbados.
At the center of the flag is a black trident head, a powerful national emblem.
The broken trident signifies Barbados breaking away from colonial rule.
Each prong of the trident represents the three principles of democracy.
Adopted at independence in 1966, the design reflects strength and freedom.
