Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
More mental ramblings.
The flags on the painting do not exist in the original as I'm sure you have guessed.
I have spotted 7 flags, let me know if you think there are more.
I have 8 countries for the 7 flags as one of them belongs to 2 different countries.
I have tried anagrams of the countries and zilch.
Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
I only found 7 flags.
The key help for me was the flap at top left.

Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
I got 7 flags, but only 6 countries. The one in the foreground with something on top of it is causing me a bit of a problem. Is this for a country? or an area?

Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
Sorry sir, not I. I'm just a bit outside of that place. But thanks, that's what I thought it was. So that's 7 and 7. Now what? More thinking.

Oh it is what I thought then. i was having trouble linking that flag and rejected the answer I had for it.

Well I then looked up their international short 2 or 3 letter versions, bit came a bit unstuck on the one in the foreground that you have mentioned and the one on the right on the little flag pole but it didn't get me any further.

I take it that is the smug grin smiley?
Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
Smug as can be.
Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
How about just the initial letters? Going for two or three country-coded letters led me up the wrong path too for a while.giraffe wrote:Well I then looked up their international short 2 or 3 letter versions, bit came a bit unstuck on the one in the foreground that you have mentioned and the one on the right on the little flag pole but it didn't get me any further.

Re: Embarkation of Queen of Sheba
well, I'm pretty sure I've got all the flags, but have absolutely no idea what to do with them. Can anyone give me a hint please?
