Flagdescription: green, a red flydiagonal of (c) 1/4 flagheight, Trinidad-style.
CoA: per fess a) gules a horse iron or; b) checky gules and or, a bull's head noir naissant crowned or. (is there a name for it?).

Yes there is, in fact there are two established vexillological ways to describe such a flag recorded in the Dictionary of Vexillology.  The one I prefer is "south-north diagonal" (with the reverse being a "north-south diagonal"), and the alternative is an "enhanced bend sinister" (with the reverse being a "bend sinister").  The latter were established by Znamierowski, but the reason that I prefer the former is that these last (to my mind) distort the heraldic terms slightly.
