Description of flag

Flag of Grandmaster Ramon Perellos y Roccaful (1697-1720)
It is a quarterly divided square flag. The 1st and 4th quarter are showing the white Greek cross in a red field of the Order of St. John. The 2nd and 3rd quarter are showing the personal arms of the grandmaster. In a golden (= yellow) field are three black pears in a triangular formation two above one.
Source: I spotted an image of this flag in Malta National Maritime Museum on 2 October 2008. The flag is depicted on a painting about the naval battle off the island of Sapienzia in 1706. The flag is stuck upon the prow.
