This is a flag which has ceased to be, an ex-flag if you like, but one which from the 2006 photograph linked to, is still being used by the local populace when enacting their local traditions and customs. See also the other photographs in that flickr photostream, which show multiple different coloured streamers attached to the flagpole.
