It seems there at least two
flags of the principality, one under Venetian suzerainty until 1797, then one
under Austrian rule 1797-1806, (presumably used without the Austrian coat of
arms reverse side 1806-1807)
slide 12 here shows the Venetian era flag of
Poljica (Poglizza) c.1796

Facebook had some color photos of the 1797-1806 flag under Austrian rule
here:
"Barjaci Poljičke
Kneževine koji su čuvaju u crkvi svetog Martina u Podstrani."

the Principality of Poland that are kept in the church of St. Martin in
Podstrana')

From https://prijepisi.blogspot.com/2015/10/pavich-1903b.html via
google translate:
"Already in 1796, Grand Duke Frano Pavić mentioned that there are two flags in
Mate Bilić in Donji Dolac, one of which is from the time of the Venetian
lordship, and the other, in all likelihood, from the first Austrian rule. That
the latter is likely is also proven by the fact that the flag, which is made
of strong linen, is still in good condition. Saint George and the Hungarian
national coat of arms are painted with paint on canvas (pictures 37 a and b)."
Later down
shows "slika" (figure) 37
Figure 37. a. Front side of the flag. 2.18 m long,
1.65 m wide. Figure 37. b. Reverse of the flag.

I did not attach
the 1797-1806 Austrian coast of arms reverse side of the flag, that image
remains in link above.
