Small hand held Pride rainbow flag on plastic stick. Carried in the parade at Pride Cymru, Cardiff, Saturday 26 August 2022.

Printed in rainbow colours, made from tabby-woven synthetic fabric. Edges are unfinished but appear to be cut with a heated blade to prevent fraying. At the edge adjacent to the pole, the flag is bound by a strip of white plastic material which has a textured surface that makes it look like fabric. This white strip is stitched on with large machine stitches using white thread. A white plastic pole is inserted through the sleeve created by the white strip. At the top of the white plastic pole is a pointed white plastic finial. This is integral to the pole, i.e. made in one piece. The flag sits loosely on the pole and easily slides up and down.
