Rumsiskes (Kaisiadorys District) - on a red field three silver
double fleur-de-lys two over one, corners decorated with silver
outlines of double fleur-de-lys. Flag proportions 5:6,
fringe is silver, finial is golden knob with silver bands. The
charge of arms granted in 1791 came from the heraldry
of princely Sapiega house, and it reflects most likely the
citizens' respect for Kazimieras Nestoras Sapiega, the leader of
Lithuanian deputies in the federal Four years parliament. Three
fleur-de-lys is the apocryphal first arms of Sapiega house
before adopting the Lis arms.
