Flag and coat of arms of Kedainiai city (Kaunas county - Kauno
apskritis, Kaisiadorys district - Kaisiadoriu rajonas) according
to my personal observation.

Kedainiai (Kedainiai District) - Field divided per bend golden
and blue, black wing of an eagle joined with the leg of an eagle
holds a silver horseshoe with three golden crosses. Flag
proportions 10:11, finial is a wooden knob with ring. The charge
of arms granted in 1627 (replacing the older arms: horseshoe with
three crosses and two salmon) by Prince Kristupas Radvila
reflects with some humour the marriage of Kristupas Radvila
(family arms: black eagle) and Ona Kiskaite (family arms: silver
horseshoe with three golden crosses). Kedainiai was the part of
Ona's dowry, and the arms means the change of liege of Kedainiai
city from the Kiska to the Radvila house.
