The flag of Mava is composed of a horizontal bicolour of white (top) and blue (bottom), countercharged with a stylised wave in the centre. The flag was adopted by the Mava Council on 10 April 1978, proclaimed by Administrator Nakulaq Inamuyak on behalf of Governor Antonio Jose Abarquero on 4 September 1978, and first officially hoisted on 8 January 1979 .
Status and protocol
The flag of Mava is officially recognised as the flag of Mava and may be flown to represent the territory domestically and internationally. The Atitlanese flag may also be flown, but precedence must be given to the flag of Mava. This is different from the states of Atitlan, which must give precedence to the Atitlanese national flag.
The Mavean flag is flown from all government buildings all-year round, although they are only required to be flown on select days as approved by the Council. There are no restrictions on the flag's use by private individuals, who are encouraged to fly the flag, although there are limitations on its use by businesses and enterprises.
There are no laws against flag desecration.
Design and symbolism
The colours and symbols of the flag carry cultural and geographical meanings. The general design, featuring a mirrored wave, symbolises the landscape as seen arriving from the ocean, symbolising the "return home" as well as being a visible reference to the flag's intention to represent the island. The colour scheme also has geographical significance, representing the sea and snow which predominate life in Mava. The design was first described in the Flag Act (Mava) 1978, with more detailed specifications laid out in the National Symbols (Specifications) (Mava) Act 1992.
The aspect ratio of its length to breadth is 3:2, the same as the Atitlanese flag.
