Flag of Lesotho - Symbol of National Identity and Heritage #161017 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Lesotho consists of three horizontal stripes-blue, white, and green-though this image shows an earlier 1987-2006 version with three white stripes and a black mokorotlo (traditional Basotho hat) in the center. The mokorotlo symbolizes the indigenous Basotho people and their heritage, while the white background reflects peace and purity. This design was reinstated briefly before the current tricolor version was adopted to emphasize national unity and progress.

This image is commonly used on governmental, educational, and travel websites to illustrate Lesotho’s national symbols; it serves users seeking information on African flags, cultural heritage, or country profiles.
