In
an image from the publication Arzakht, you can see a picture of the flag with
lighter field (above).
In another photo, you can see two flags of
Afghanistan, one with the golden shield and one with the white coat. Can it be a
kind of ceremonial flag? Can it be a special flag used by the government?
