Overview

Flag and coat of arms of Siauliai (Siauliai county - Siauliu apskritis). The flag is drawn according to my personal observation from the flag show of Mindaugas coronation 750th anniversary. The coat of arms is drawn according to image from the book: The Heraldry of Lithuania.

The City of Siauliai in Lithuania seems to has two flags. One is above, but in ratio of 4:5. The other one is the flag of the City Administration (?) and is white with city coat of arms in its center is at <www.siauliai.lt>.

On Omaha’s Flag Wall there is the flag of sister city Siauliai, Lithuania. If the theory holds that the above is simply the city’s, and the lower one is the flag of the City Administration, we see that Omaha was given the more elaborate version.
As stated by Ralf Hartemink on his site, International Civic Heraldry, the bear represents the Duchy of Samogitia and the calf, the House of Poniatowski; the sun-in-a-triangle has replaced the Eye of Providence. The current arms “were officially granted on August 30, 1991. The newer great (my emphasis, jm) arms were granted on September 7, 2001.
