Summary

Description
English: This is a reconstruction of the flag that was flown by the Branch Davidians at the Mount Carmel Center compound, during the Waco siege in 1993. The flag depicted a six-winged serpent (which resembled a Star of David when viewed afar) flying over the Seven seals.
The flag was made with satin according to a discussion between Matthew Whitmer and a survivor of the Waco siege, Kathy Jones. The serpent on the flag was made of a reflective silver material.
The reconstruction of this flag is based on a reconstruction by Matthew Whitmer, a PDF containing several close-up photographs of the compound which has a photograph showing the flag near the compound, and archived footage of the siege that has a clip of the flag waving in front of the compound. Approximations of the flag's colors are below.
