Recently I found a second-hand copy of PNG: A fact book on modern Papua New Guinea, written by Jackson Rannells, published by Oxford University Press (Melbourne) in 1990. The cover of the book shows the 19 provincial flags of the country in colour, with brief descriptions given inside. Many of these flags are strikingly colourful and have uncommon/traditional images.

I made the images [of the Papua New Guinea provincial flags] several years ago according the outlined drawings from Lucien Philippe in Dr. Günther Mattern's Flaggenmitteilungen [fbn], no. 96, 11 March 1984. His source was magazine New Nation Vol. 6 No. 7 September 1982, published in New Guinea. The drawings are accompanied by some text in French for the colours of the detailed images. If I remember correctly these flags are also shown on the Flags of Paradise flag chart [brt96].

The right to have their own symbols (including flags) in Papua New Guinea is
determined by The Organic Law on Provincial Governments and Local-level
Governments.
"9. Provincial Government and Local-level Government symbols
and seat of government.
(1) Subject to Subsection (3), a provincial law may
make provision for and in respect of:
(a) the seat of
government; and
(b) a Provincial Government flag; and
(c) a Provincial Government emblem; and
(d) a Provincial
Government motto; and
(e) a Provincial Government seal,
for the Province.
(2) Subject to Subsection (3), a local-level law may make
provision for and in respect of—
(a) the seat of
Government; and
(b) a Local- level Government flag; and
(c) a Local- level Government emblem; and
(d) a Local-
level Government motto; and
(e) a Local- level Government
seal, for the area to which the local- level law applies.
(3) The Minister
may, where he considers it is in the national interest so to do, disallow any
Provincial or Local- level Government flag, emblem or motto."
That means
that we should find also the District flags in PNG.
