Sirvintos (Sirvintos District) - On a field divided per pale
red and blue a silver moose head and above a silver sword with a
golden hilt. Flag proportions 2:3, finial is a golden tip. The
moose represents the rich local fauna and is canting:
"sirvis" is the synonym of moose in the local dialect
of Lithuanian. The sword symbolizes the historical battles, as
Sirvintos land depended to Kernave, one of the main fortification
complexes of early Lithuania.
