| | Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Flag |
| | On each flag, the central image of the ‘Wind Horse’, symbolizing upliftedness and confidence, is surrounded by the sacred prayers and mantras of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. | | | For centuries Tibetans have placed prayer flags around their homes, at sacred sites, near monasteries, and on mountain passes, as an offering to the enlightened ones and as a prayer for the benefit of all beings. | | | Each flag is hand block printed by monks, as they have been for centuries, at the site of one of the great holy places in the Himalayas. |

| | Contemporary stamps and coins reveal the formation of a modern coat of arms which became a persistent symbol on the national flags for coming decades: a temple/mosque flanked by two flags, inside of which are a mehára@b (prayer niche) and menbar (pulpit). | | | The flag was described in Article 4 of the Constitution of 1931 and was reconfirmed in the Constitution of 1964, in which the proportions of 2:3 were legally specified. | | | This flag, though not mentioned in the first constitution of Afghanistan (1923), may be regarded as the first "national" flag of the country, as it was the first to gain international recognition. |
