Flag of Brittany - Symbol of Breton Identity and Heritage #127525 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Brittany, known as the Gwenn-ha-du, consists of nine black ermines (heraldic stylized martens) arranged in a 3×3 grid on a white canton, alongside five alternating black and white horizontal stripes. Adopted in the early 20th century and widely embraced after WWII, it represents Breton identity, autonomy, and cultural revival. The ermine motif originates from the historic Duchy of Brittany, while the stripes echo medieval heraldic traditions.
