The national flag of Brazil, 1822-1889 pattern. The flag is made of hand sewn wool bunting with a painted linen area in the centre. The hoist is missing. The flag was used as backing for the Commonwealth Standard AAA0800, so the upper edge has been extended with a strip of fabric with horizontal, red, white, red stripes.

The flag has a green background with a white diamond in the centre bearing the arms of the Brazilian Emperor- a green shield bearing an armilliary sphere surrounded by a ring of stars, an Imperial crown above, the whole surrounded by branches of coffee and tobacco tied with a blue ribbon.
The design was introduced when Brazil became independant in 1822 under Emperor Pedro I. It was changed when the country became a republic in 1889 to a similar design to the present flag.
