About the place: Meclov is a municipality and village in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic, located northwest of Domažlice. It encompasses several hamlets situated in the scenic Chodsko landscape.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertical white hoist stripe occupying one-third of the flag's length and a green field in the remaining two-thirds. The white stripe features a red sword pointing upwards, flanked at the top of its blade by eight (4, 4) red flames. Over the middle of the sword lies a blue circular disc bearing a yellow fleur-de-lis. In the center section of the flag, placed within the green field, are white crossed miner's hammers above a yellow ear of wheat with two diverging leaves.
Symbolism: The red sword with flames is the attribute of Saint Michael the Archangel, patron of the local church. The blue disc with a fleur-de-lis symbolizes devotion to the Virgin Mary. The crossed miner's hammers and the ear of grain represent historical mining activities in the region and the agricultural heritage of the municipality.
