Desk Flag

A flag caught mid-ripple, on a pole, standing in a plinth with a name in the front. Pick the country - or make your team's: your colors, your number, your initials - and the design is made all the way through in color — the back shows it mirrored, like a real flag — with the pole and its finial fused to the hoist. Two sizes, sixty countries, up to eight colors from the machine.

How it's made. The flag is a 3 mm sheet rippled through a wave and a half, every color a separate body that goes right through it, so the flag reads from both sides and there's no paint to wear. It is made standing on its bottom edge with the pole, in one go; the plinth is made flat with a wave-shaped groove the flag drops into and a pocket for the pole. A few flags with detailed arms or script are made in their plain civil form — the country list says which. Not a toy; the finial is small.
