[Flag of Orvin] image by Pascal Gross

Or on a base Vert a peasant clad Gules with a spear Sable tipped Argent fighting a bear rampant Sable langued armed and viriled of the Third.
["Tipped" is actually a heraldic term, although usually applied to the tips of horns etc., but there is no real reason why it should not also apply to a weapon.]
Christopher Southworth

The flag of Orvin is canting according to an old device (motto): ors vin (ours, viens; in English: bear, come!).
Pascal Gross, 28 January 2002
