Dear Richard,

You refer to a Portuguese communal flag...

You might look at the Portuguese National
Flag which has an armillary sphere as its
background.  See:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Portugal

It isn't a very well drawn armillary sphere but
it is convincing enough.

I am the proud owner of a Portuguese flag and
when I take groups on sundial walks I sometimes
bring it out and wave it with a flourish when I
get to the first armillary sphere!

Members of the group can then compare the flag
version with an example of the real thing!
