Flag of the empire of brazil, after the creation of the province of amazonas (it now has 20 stars) and with heraldic design respecting the correct color of the nation's bow and crown cap. Pattern with neoclassical shield with straight corners, according to the general secretariat of the brazilian army[1]. This type of shield is also heraldically called continental shield, modern french shield, modern continental shield, somatic shield and samitic shield (also spelled samnitic). This continental pattern, whether with smooth corners or sharp corners, is what brazilian heraldry defines as the most appropriate pattern for the flag of empire brazil, due to it being the same shape as the 8 escutcheons at the base of d's crown. Pedro i: sometimes the shape of continental shields with sharp corners is confused with the english shield. Date: 1822.
