Description of the flag

According to W. Smith's Flag Book of the U.S. [smi75a], the lion is from the arms of the Albini family of Attleborough, England, the chain around the shield symbolizes the local jewelry industry, and the marks that look like lambda-alpha-lambda are the three marks used by the local Indian chief Wamsutta on the deed transferring to the English settlers the first area now making up the town.
