Summary
About the place: Kunszállás is a village in Bács-Kiskun county, located in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary near Kiskunfélegyháza. The surrounding landscape features a traditional agricultural character typical of the Little Cumania (Kiskunság) region.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a blue field charged with a broad white chevron reaching the top edge. In the center of the flag is the full municipal coat of arms. The coat of arms features a shield surmounted by a golden crown with gemstones. The shield is divided per fess and per pale in chief: the first silver field depicts a Cuman warrior or hussar in blue and red attire drawing a saber; the second blue field shows a red and white tent. The lower blue field displays the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) with a halo, carrying a flag with a red cross. Below the shield, across the lower part of the white chevron, the black capital lettering 'KUNSZÁLLÁS' is inscribed.
Symbolism: The blue field and white chevron symbolize the sky, peace, and unity, while the chevron shape may also represent a shelter or tent structure. The figure in historical dress recalls the Cuman heritage of the Kiskunság region. The tent refers to the nomadic origins of the Cumans and the village's name ('szállás' meaning settlement or camp). The Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) represents purity, sacrifice, and the Christian faith of the inhabitants. The crown atop the shield signifies municipal autonomy and historical privileges.
