The face in the centre of the Argentine flag is the Sol de Mayo, the Sun of May. It carries thirty-two rays, sixteen straight and sixteen wavy in alternation, and the features are those of Inti, the Inca sun god. It commemorates the May Revolution of 1810, when Buenos Aires removed the Spanish viceroy and set the country on the road to independence; by tradition the sun broke through the cloud over the city as the crowd gathered.
The flag itself was created by Manuel Belgrano in 1812 and first raised on the banks of the Paraná at Rosario. The sun was added six years later, which is why two versions still exist: the plain banded flag is the civil flag, and the one with the sun — the version printed here — is the ceremonial flag of the nation.
This design shows it free-flying rather than mounted, so the bands bow and the sun sits on a fold. The contour follows every ripple, which gives a livelier outline than a plain rectangle and suits a surface with space around it: a rear window, a laptop lid, a fridge door, a guitar case.
