Sandokan Flag

The tiger's head on red: the flag of Sandokan

The flag of Sandokan is a red field with, in the centre, a yellow and black tiger's head with wide-open jaws. It is the flag of the pirates of Mompracem, the «Tigers» led by Sandokan: a flag that never existed in history, but one that generations of Italian readers have seen flying on every page.

A flag born from Salgari's pen

Sandokan is a character invented by Emilio Salgari, the writer from Verona born in 1862 who died in Turin in 1911. Salgari began telling his adventures when barely over twenty, between 1883 and 1885, with the serial novel «La Tigre della Malesia», written for the Nuova Arena of Verona, the paper he worked for. After a second serial version, in 1900 the story came out as a book with the title «Le tigri di Mompracem».

The Tigers of Mompracem

From the very first lines of the novel the flag is there: on the island of Mompracem, atop Sandokan's hut, flies «a great red flag, with a tiger's head in the middle». In «Le due tigri» Salgari describes it again: «all red with a tiger's head with open jaws in the middle». It is the sign of Sandokan, of the faithful Yanez and of their men.

It flies through the whole cycle

The flag returns in many novels of the Malaysian cycle. In «I pirati della Malesia», after the victory over James Brooke, the rajah's flags are lowered and in their place rise «the red ones of Mompracem, adorned with a tiger's head». It appears again in «Il Re del Mare» and in «La riconquista di Mompracem»: every time the Tigers return to the attack, the red flag goes up the mast.

From page to television

Sandokan soon left the books. In 1976 Rai broadcast Sergio Sollima's series «Sandokan», six episodes with Kabir Bedi, Carole André and Philippe Leroy, a production so large that it took about four years of work. Since then the Tiger of Malaysia has entered everyone's imagination, even of those who have never opened a Salgari novel.

Who chooses it

For anyone who grew up with Salgari's novels and the television series, for collectors and lovers of adventure literature, for libraries, schools and exhibitions, for theatre companies and sets, for themed parties and pirate birthdays, for a pub, a venue or a club that wants a touch of adventure, for anyone who wants it on a boat or in a child's bedroom. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
