Overview

Graziskiai (Vilkaviskis District) - on blue field man with fancy dress of mounted officer. Flag proportions 5:6, fringe is golden, finial is golden knob. The charge means the local variation of Lithuanian customs of Shrovetide: Syvis, one of characters of traditional masquerade. This character is not known elsewhere in Lithuania (most likely it came to Graziskiai from Poland).
