Jolly Roger Pirate Flag - Iconic Skull and Crossbones Symbol #2029554 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white Jolly Roger features a stylized human skull wearing a diagonal eye patch, positioned above two ornately hilted cutlasses crossed in an X. The stark contrast and bold silhouette evoke historical piracy, particularly 18th-century Caribbean privateers and buccaneers who used such flags to intimidate merchant vessels before boarding. Its design remains one of the most universally recognized symbols of adventure, rebellion, and maritime lore.
