The Tumbes flag shows a stylized sun (an important symbol in
Peru’s earlier flags) as a golden yellow SW quadrant
sun disc on the upper hoist from which extend four equal width rays golden
yellow: one along the hoist, another along the upper edge of the flag, another
along the diagonal of the flag, and the last linking to the midpoint of the
lower edge of the flag; the two middle rays enclose a green area, whereas the
remaining background is dark blue. On the sun disc the word "Tumbes" set in
black narrow sans-serif capitals along a curved line parallel to the edge of the
sic, and overall horizontally centered and overlapping the golden yellow
diagonal, the shield of the local coat of arms, its height about 1/3rd of the
flag’s height. Said shield includes a yellow bordure with black letters:
