Ploksciai (Sakiai District) - on blue field golden bell. Flag
proportions 10:11, fringe is golden, finial is golden knob. The
charge means both the old bell (made in 1573) of local
church and the newspaper "Varpas" ("Bell"),
which in 1890ies made the essential impact to
the Lithuanian national revival. The editor of
"Varpas" Vincas Kudirka (author of National Anthem)
worked partially in Ploksciai.
