Cravate Romani Flag

This design features the Romani flag, which is the international flag of the Romani people. The flag consists of a background of blue and green, representing the heavens and earth, respectively; it also contains a 16-spoke red chakra, or cartwheel, in the center, which represents the itinerant tradition of the Romani people and is also an homage to the flag of India. The flag was approved by the representatives of various Romani communities at the first World Romani Congress (WRC), held in Orpington in 1971.
