A sitting Buddha is painted in the triangular frame of the flag head, and clouds and curtains are painted under it. The flag body depicts a statue of Bodhisattva with yellow lines. The bodhisattva has round cheeks, full shoulders, thin waist and long arms, slightly “S” shaped waist, wears a three-bead garland crown, has a head light, hangs a folded flower cover on the top, wears gauze, necklaces and wreaths, wears arm bracelets and wrist bracelets, wraps a long skirt around the waist, and steps barefoot on the lotus
