Pisba is a municipality in the Colombian Department of
Boyacá, part of the the subregion of the La Libertad Province.
It was founded on 3 April1629.
The flag of Pisba is
horizontally divided (inner ratio 2:1:1) blue-white-green and
charged with a yellow rhombus with a circle divided horizontally
green-grey. there is a slightly
different image on the same page.

web site.

Translated from municipal
web site: "Rectangular with the colours blue (50%),
white (25%) and green (25%), in the middle a yellow lozenge with
a circle inscribed, green in its upper part and gray in its lower
part."
The flag is shown on a photograph
taken during the Marian pilgrimage (31 May). The flag seems to be
in proportions 1:2, with the lozenge placed horizontally
(horizontal axis bigger than vertical axis); the lower point of
the lozenge touches the upper edge of the green stripe, while the
horizontal axis of the lozenge matches the limit between the blue
and white stripes, which means that the upper point of the
lozenge reaches the half of the blue stripe. Concerning the
circle, the limit between the two fields seems to be wavy, as far
as it can be seen, and the lower field seems brown rather than
gray.
Accordingly, none of the two drawings shown on the municipal
website match the real flag.

Obviously neither image on the municipal
web site could be correct, as neither had the centred rhombus
on the blue white middle line.
