The Palembang Flag can be seen behind the Throne of the Ruler. There is a possibility that the Palembang Flag has the Sultanate Emblem in the center of the flag (to distinguish it from Lithuania).

Parigi

A photo of the flag shows that the centre of the flag is complicated, nearly as complicated as the old Sikkim flag.
The present Ruler is the 19th Magau, Y.M. (for Yang Mulia or His Highness) Andi Cimbu Tagunu, ruling since 2000.

The arms are a green octagon bearing crossed swords and a red-black-yellow-white shield. The coat of arms looks like being modern, the colours above I would take to mean that those are the colours of their flag, in vertical form, red/black/golden-yellow/white. Parigi State is located on The Celebes or Sulawesi Island, and it was small. Two of the most powerful Sultanates were Gowa and Bone, or Boni, both located on the Southern
arm near Makasser.

The flag is quartered of blue and yellow, on the central black rectangle is a white elephant. The first flag (see left image above), based on the article of Dirk Rühl is quartered of green and yellow. My photo, shot 2013 in Leiden, shows that it is not green but blue. The colour information is confirmed by the filing card of Wereldmuseum (see central image above). It is also confirmed a painting (3 pages) with flags from the islands of Haruku and Saparua (see right image above). On that painting is a more elaborated elephant.
This settlement Porto is located on Saparua Island, not to be mismatch with a namesake settlement on haruku Island.
