Deli Sultanate, flag from the Arms, possibly the State Flag, (N.E. Sumatra). The Sultan's flag might have a gold sword,
hilt to flagstaff, with the handle turned downwards, otherwise the sword is part
of the coat of arms.

In his book "Les drapeaux de l'Islam", P.Lux-Wurm (2001) shows the "Sultan's flag and ensign, XIXth century" of the Sultanate of Djambi. The flag is rectangular, in proportions 2:3, plain white.
The Sultanate of Djambi was located on the eastern coast of the island of Sumatra, now part of Indonesia. Djambi and the region of Palembang were from the IVth to the XIVth century the center of Sri Vidjaya's Mahayana Buddhist Empire. Around 1455, Arya Damar, ruler of Palembang, was converted to Islam and took the name of Arya Dilah Abd-Allah.
The plain white flag was used as the Sultan's personal standard. The white
colour symbolized the political and religious powers of the Sultan. The vessels
of the Sultanate also used a plain white ensign. Lux-Wurm does not clearly state
if they were merchant or war vessels, therefore we might want to call the flag
"State ensign". The city of Djambi was located 50 km from the seashore but
could be reached by ships via the river Batang Hari.
The Sultanate was suppressed in 1945 when the independence of Indonesia was
proclaimed. The city of Djambi is now called Telanajpura.
