Collection: North Carolina

he official description of the North Carolina state flag, as defined in Chapter 144 of the North Carolina General Statutes, features a blue union with a white star in the center, flanked by "N" and "C" in gilt on either side of the star. The flag also has two equally proportioned horizontal bars, red above and white below, and two scrolls, one above and one below the star. The upper scroll bears the inscription "May 20th, 1775" and the lower one bears "April 12th, 1776", both in gilt letters. The blue union is a third of the flag's width. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Union: A blue square field located on the upper left corner of the flag. 
Star: A white star in the center of the blue union. 
Letters: "N" and "C" in gold (gilt) are placed on either side of the star, within the blue union. 
Bars: Two horizontal bands, the upper one red and the lower one white, both equal in size. 
Scrolls: Two golden scrolls with black lettering. The top scroll reads "May 20th, 1775", and the bottom scroll reads "April 12th, 1776", according to the North Carolina General Statutes. 
The dates on the scrolls commemorate significant events: May 20, 1775, is the date of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, and April 12, 1776, is the date of the Halifax Resolves, where the Fourth Provincial Congress of North Carolina authorized its delegates to vote for independence from Great Britain.
