The Continental flag (used by the native peoples to represent Latin
America (Awyayala, in Quechua): plain white.
Jaume Ollé, 1997
In Kara Chukiwanka’s article [qch9X]
this flag pair is presented as «Janq’u
Wip’ala»,
or white flag, one of the three flags of the Wiñaymarka culture.
This is a flag pair, consisting of a square
white flag and another flag. No explicit reference to
the flag pair duality, apart from the
illustration
showing both flags (plain and two-triangle). No indication about its
(modern?) use as the flag of Awya Yala (=South
America).

The continental flag also is has
a pair. It is white (?) with a zig-zag cross
with a central disc of two-colors (I only have a black and white image).
This symbol is named chakana and the disc
represents the day and the night.
Jaume Ollé, 1997
Flag with a white chakana (outlined in black)
on white background, which makes a poor design.

In this
online
2005 photo
(context),

This flag can be seen in use, along with a Qullasuyu
flag (white diagonal), as a lecture table cloth in a
photo
on
line (context).
Note that on this photo the hoist of the flags used for table draping is
facing down: The pattern for the chakana and its placement on the flag is
based on the 7×7 square suyu flag
design, which is yet another way to draw and
place the chakana.
