(This page
shows an image of the flag in a quite unusual way: the actual image contains
only the emblem, being the 2:3 white background made by an HTML table around
it.)
The emblem is describable as a coat of arms: Per pale azure a sun or and vert
three houses argent lined or per pale, on a pale gules the lettering
"ᡄᠯᡄᠰᡐᡉᡉ᠅" (Mongol
script for "Elestüü⁘"); for crown a Buddhist pagoda roof gules
charged with a lotus (as on the republic’s flag)
argent lined or above the lettering "ЭЛСТ ·
ЭЛИСТА" (Cyrillic script for
"Êlst · Êlista"); all edges of the crown and shield,
including the fess’s edges, lined or.
