CHK010 ‘Ceremonial Flag Base & British Crown Colony of Hong Kong Flag.’

The Colonial Hong Kong flag comprised the British Blue Ensign with the Colony’s ‘Coat of Arms’ in a white circle in the fly of the flag.  The shield shows two junks upon blue and white stripes representing the sea topped by a lion holding a pearl, a reference to Hong Kong’s nickname as ‘The Pearl of the Orient.’

The shield as a whole is supported by a British Lion and a Chinese Dragon.

The Flag and its staff fit neatly into a sturdy grey stone base.
