History
This flag is associated with Mahmut Pasha Bushatli in 1796 and served as his personal war standard for the Pashalik of Scutari. It reflects Ottoman-influenced military banner design through its square shape and its use of Islamic and martial imagery, especially the crescent and the Zulfiqar-like sword. The banner is linked to Mahmut Pasha’s final campaign against Montenegro in 1796, during the year of his death.
