Description of the flag

Potosí’s flag is based on a pennant of the Vicunas, a factional group in the 16th century in the war between the Spanish and Basques. [m2nXX]

Assymetrical quarterly?

The flag of Potosí shows in some sources to be a “scandinavian quarterly”, i.e., with the vertical division off centered to the hoist. Is this so?
António Martins, 07 Sep 1999

No scandinavian quarterly: the effect in the image is due to be a waved flag. The flag is divised in four equal rectangular parts.
Jaume Ollé, 12 Sep 1999

However, the BoliviaMail flag webstore offers a Potosi flag which is clearly offset to the right. Too bad the edge (and hoist) are not visible (Large image, not clearer).

Simplified armorial banner?

Is the design of the flag based on the central eschuteon of the department’s coat of arms, although the quartering is inverted?
