His attached coat of arms has the star and crescent in combination with the stag. A 1498 epitaph at Pforzheim commemorates a Freigraf of "Little Egypt", in fact a Romani tribal leader. One such figure, named Panuel, used a crowned golden eagle, while another one, Bautma, had a complex coat of arms, incorporating a scimitar both figures also used hounds as their heraldic animal, with Panuel's being a badge.
Several 15th-century sources report the existence of heraldic symbols associated with nomadic "Gypsy Princes" from the Holy Roman Empire. However, inside the scholarly community, the Romani flag has been criticized as Eurocentric, and its display as a perfunctory solution to issues facing the ethnic group it represents. Derivatives also became widely used in Romani political symbolism during the same period.
Several countries and communities have recognized it officially during the 2010s, but its display has also sparked controversy in various parts of the European Union. The Orpington Congress never provided specifications for the flag, which exists in various versions and has many derivatives. The flag was promoted by actor Yul Brynner and violinist Yehudi Menuhin, and also adopted by Florin Cioabă, self-proclaimed " King of the Roma". The definitive variant designed at Orpington gained in popularity over the subsequent decades, being especially associated with groups promoting transnational unity of the people and combating its designation as "Gypsies". A tricolour version, flown by survivors of the Romani genocide, fell out of use due to allegations that it stood for communism. The 1971 flag replaced an interwar version, the plain blue-green bicolour, which was reportedly created by activist Gheorghe A. This design was especially popular in Socialist Yugoslavia, which awarded it official recognition upon adoption. The latter element stands for the itinerant tradition of the Romani people and is also homage to the flag of India, added to the flag by scholar Weer Rajendra Rishi. The flag consists of a background of blue and green, representing the heavens and earth, respectively it also contains a 16-spoke red chakra, or cartwheel, in the centre. It was approved by the representatives of various Romani communities at the first World Romani Congress (WRC), held in Orpington in 1971. The Romani flag or flag of the Roma ( Romani: O styago le romengo) is the international flag of the Romani people.
