Flag of Jura France - Accent Coffee Mug

The Flag of Jura, France is a heraldic banner that represents the department of Jura, one of the 102 departments in France. Adopted on January 8, 1979, the flag is composed of two horizontal stripes. The upper stripe is white, and the lower stripe is red, symbolizing the colors of the arms of the House of Savoy, a former ruling dynasty of Sardinia, Sicily, Piedmont, and Savoy. These colors also appear on the French flag, reflecting the historical connections between the Jura region and France. The center of the flag features a golden sun with 12 rays, representing the number of cantons (districts) in the department of Jura. This design is a modern adaptation of the coat of arms used by the House of Wrttemberg when they ruled over the principality of Montbliard, a historical region that includes parts of present-day Jura, France. The flag serves as a symbol of regional identity and pride within the department of Jura, France.
