The background stripes are green (for vegetation), yellow (for Markham Valley) and blue (for the sea). A white bird of paradise
(representing animal life), white pig¹s tusks (traditional exchange), a
brown and yellow kundu drum (for festivals) and spears (for traditional
warfare) are at the centre. Source: PNG: A fact book on modern Papua New Guinea, Jackson Rannells, Oxford University Press (Melbourne), 1990.

Papua New Guinea issued a series of postage stamps depicting the flags of
some of their provinces last year. I have a good picture of the six stamps and
the design of some of the flags are slightly different to the ones shown on
FOTW. For example, for Morobe Province the flag on the stamp shows the two
central drums in blue, the same dark blue as the stripe at the bottom (lighter
blue and black drums in the FOTW version). The quality of the pictures on the
PNG postal service website is not excellent but good enough (I appreciate their
effort, though):
