Kaunas district - on a blue field over a silver pall a red
shield with the silver head of a wild ox having a golden cross on
top. Flag proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with golden rope,
finial is a silver arrow head with golden bands. The blue field
is traditional for banners of Trakai province (vaivadija), to
which Kaunas district (pavietas) depended during the times of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The silver pall represents the three
major rivers of Lithuania in confluence: Nemunas, Neris and
Nevezis. The head of the wild ox with cross cites pars pro toto
the arms of Kaunas city.
