Tibetan Vexillology Again


This pitiable photograph of men and horses going to their death in 1950s Tibet is nonetheless interesting for the presence, at right, of a heretofore unremarked, Western style, Tibetan flag.



It would seem this is simply a crossed dorje. The colors would appear to be yellow and blue, although if we have any readers from Turner Entertainment, maybe they have a better appraisal.

If anyone has further information, I would be pleased to hear from you.
