Circassian flag

The Circassian flag (Adyghe and Kabardian: Адыгэ нып) is the ethnic flag of the Circassians. It consists of a green field charged with twelve gold stars, nine forming an arc resembling a bow and three horizontal, also charged with three crossed arrows in the center. Every year, April 25 is celebrated as the Circassian flag day by Circassians. Aside from the Circassian diaspora, the flag is currently officially used by the Republic of Adygea of the Russian Federation as its official flag.
