Description: Flag of Mihnea III. Prince had a dark red flag (139 cm by 205 cm) with golden ornaments: a circle with his coat of arms inside (a crowned two-headed eagle, supported by two rampant lions, all crowned with an archducal crown supported by two angels); above the circle there was his title: "Io. Mihail Radu, by God's mercy ruler of Wallachia and archduke of the neighbouring lands", with cyrillic letters. At the floating end there is a cross with the Christian Orthodox monogram IS. HS. NI. KA. (meaning "Jesus Christ vanquishes") written between its arms. All around the circle are several golden stars and the princely title is flanked by a moon and a sun. Some of the ornaments are bordered by a thin, light blue line. Today the flag is found in the National Museum of Belgrade and albeit the cloth is well preserved, the golden painting has almost vanished.
