The flag of the Municipality of Bandera, Department of Belgrano appears to be irregularly banded with vertical stripes blue-white-red-white-blue, approximately 3:1:3:1:1 with the municipal emblem centered.

The emblem is canting, and thus this is a canting flag, for the toponym
means "flag" in Spanish.
The usual
“oval” (= vertically oblong ellipse) with a sun at the top is shown centered on
the flag area, which seems to be between 2:3 and 3:5. The background is
vertically stripped blue-white-red-white-blue in very unequal widths — roughly
3+1+3+1+1, which looks more like a graphical mishap than a daring design.
The emblem itself is encircled with a yellow rope (?), knotted at the
bottom, and filled with a landscape sketch showing a hill summit where two
types of terrain converge: green (grass) at the hoist side and light brown or
orange (soil, mud, loam?) at the fly. On the former stands a dark brown (or
black) cow, facing flywards, and on the latter sits a plough and some other
farming implement, of the same color. On the straight dividing line, against a
light blue sky, an improvised flag pole flies a plain brown flag (intermediate
shade between those of the ground and of the cow and plough), shown fluttering
to the fly. On the foreground (in what would be a heraldic base diminished, or
plaine), a small blue area (same shade of blue as the flag background stripes),
likely water, across the two terrain types.
On the photo, there’s a very
thin white border all around the flag, much wider at the top, suggesting it is
being held for inspection before trimming.
