Jamaican flag

Reggae nation's standard

The Jamaican flag is the national flag of Jamaica, featuring a diagonal gold cross that divides the flag into four triangles—two green (top and bottom) and two black (left and right).

Adopted when Jamaica gained independence in 1962, the design is distinctive among national flags for having no red, white, or blue.

The Jamaican flag flew over the embassy.
