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 prints standing on its bottom edge with the pole, in one go; the plinth prints 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 printed in their plain civil form — the country list says which. Not a toy; the finial is small.
