Gules Six Bars Argent

Description

The US flag has a red background with six horizontal white stripes on top of it. On top of those is a blue rectangle at the top left. And, on top of the blue rectangle are 50 five-pointed stars arranged in 9 rolls and 11 columns with the odd numbered rolls containing 6 stars and the even numbered rolls containing 5 stars.

In Heraldry this is blazoned (i.e., described as): Gules six bars argent, on a canton azure fifty mullets of the second, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six. 

BAR: This is a smaller (thinner) version of a Fess, and is rarely found singly, although the flag of Nauru is one instance where a single bar is found. Again, as in the note on the Fess, if the flag or shield can be pictured as being a series of bars of a single coloured background, then this is how it is described (for example, the American flag, excluding the canton, should theoretically be described as Gules, six Bars Argent). www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/vx…
