Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms: shield is divided per pale. On the right side in a red field are four fessy silver (white) lines with black brickwork. On the left side in a silver (white) field is a green tree on green ground with a silver fountain coming from beneath the trees roots. The shield has a border with eight alternating golden (yellow) and green sections. In each green segment is a golden ear of grain, in each golden one a green grape of vine. The shield is topped by a crown.

I spotted this flag on 30 January 2007 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Military Museum. Tegueste was the name of a Guanche mini-kingdom.
