Flag of Wallonia the French Community and Walloon Region Belgium - Color Changing Coffee Mug

Flag of Wallonia, French Community, and Walloon Region, Belgium The flag of Wallonia represents the French Community and the Walloon Region within the kingdom of Belgium. It consists of three horizontal stripes, with the top and bottom ones being equal in size at 1/3 of the total height and the middle stripe taking up 2/3 of the flag's height. The top and bottom stripes are yellow (golden), while the middle stripe is red. This design is a simplification of the arms of Wallonia, which feature a golden lion passant guardant on a red field. The colors and the lion symbol have historical roots dating back to the Duchy of Brabant and the County of Hainaut, two significant medieval territories that overlapped with present-day Wallonia. The flag is widely used in Wallonia as a regional symbol of pride and identity, and it serves as an important emblem during official events and celebrations related to the French Community and the Walloon Region. Despite its local significance, the flag does not hold national status within Belgium, where the Belgian national flag represents the entire kingdom.
