The large red band: the bloodshed by our forefathers;

Black dashes on the red band: realization of the ‘khezhanuo khruo’. (tribute/tax).

Large black bands and narrow red bands: perpetual grappling with hardship;

White squares on black background: implements made of bones used by our forefathers;

Small green line: Victory;

Central design: old weapons-spear, shied, animal bones, sheath of dao/machete.
