The flag of Mozambique is composed of three equal horizontal bands of teal, black with white top and bottom edges, and yellow. A red isosceles triangle spanning about two-fifth the width of the field is superimposed on the hoist side with its base on the hoist end. This triangle bears a crossed rifle and hoe in black superimposed on an open white book which is superimposed on a five-pointed yellow star.
