The Arizona state flag consists of thirteen alternately colored rays - six yellow and seven red - on the top half of the flag. The rays begin at the center of the flag and extend upward and out to the top, right and left edges of the flag. These rays represent the original 13 colonies. The lower half of the flag is a solid blue field representing liberty. In the center of the flag, superimposed, is a copper-colored five-point star. The flag represents the copper star of Arizona rising from a blue field in the face of a setting sun. The colors are also repesentative of Arizona's striking sunsets and the copper mining industry in Arizona. For more information click here
