Inset into the field, and extending through seven stripes from the top, is a dark blue canton (union) 15.5 inches wide on the fly x 10 inches, with 45 stars, each 1.5 inches across, printed on the obverse and reverse sides. The stars are arranged in six horizontal rows: 8-7-8-7-8-7. Tack holes along the hoist edge indicate the flag was nailed to its staff. The flag is machine stitched.
