The flag of Guyana, often called "The Golden Arrowhead", features a green field, a narrow white stripe on the upper edge, a larger golden triangle (arrowhead) at the hoist, a narrow black border around the golden triangle, and a larger red triangle at the fly end. The green symbolizes the forests and agricultural resources, white stands for rivers and water, gold denotes the country's mineral wealth, black represents endurance, and red is for zeal and the sacrifice for nation-building. The unique design and color scheme articulate the nation's identity and aspirations.
