The municipality of Añatuya (20,261 inhabitants in 2001) is the
capital of the General Taboada Department, located in the east of the
Santiago del Estero Province.
The Añatuya Diocese was created on 10 April 1961 by Pope John XXIII
and approved by the Argentine government on 18 September 1961 (Decree-
Law No. 8328).
Añatuya might soon adopt a flag. During the session of the Municipal
Council held on 14 April 2011, the Officialist group of councillors
tabled a proposal of Decree prescribing the creation of a flag and
arms for the town. The proposal was written by Ramón Vargas, who
recalled that the first Organic Chart of the municipality, issued in
1994, provisioned for the adoption of municipal symbols by the
Municipal Council; the provision was dropped in 2007 from the revised
Organic Chart, which in no way can prevent the Municipal Council to
adopt the symbols.
The (proposed) coat of arms, symbolizing the municipal autonomy, is
made of a shield in "Norman style", following the national and
provincial traditions, whose upper angles spiral to the center of the
shield. It is divided into two quarters, the quarter in chief sky blue
representing the national colors and the other quarter sea blue
representing the clothing of the railways workers, the railway being
at the origin of the municipal territory. The center of the shield is
white [therefore, the shield is horizontally divided sky blue-white-
sea blue], symbolizing intelligence and purity, charged with a
federal, eight-pointed star made of eight lozenges issuant from the
center, expressing the Argentinean federalism and of bright red color.
The star is outlined in white and black; together with red, these
colors symbolize the ceramics of the native cultures in their diverse
components: Mercedes, Sunchitúyoj and Averías. The star is charged
with the traditional representation of a skunk, elegant and proud, in
Aroldo Suárez' Inca lines, of Indo-American golden color.
The lower quarter is sea blue, the color of the clothing of the
railways workers, crossed by a river made of a wavy line argent,
representing river Salado (cachi mayu) supplying life, wealth and
fertility. The outer ornaments are made, on the right, of branch of
cotton with bolls and, on the left, of a branch of flowering alfalfa,
forming an open crown vert and tied up under the shield by a bright
red ribbon with a golden fringe representing autonomy. On the scroll,
three original Inca inscriptions, "AMA SUA, AMA LLULLA, AMA
QUEYA" (Neither thief nor liar, not lazy either).
The (proposed) flag is shown as based on the Argentinean national
flag, in the middle a white rectangle outlined in yellow and black and
charged with the star and skunk from the coat of arms. On the right of
the rectangle, a broad sea blue panel separated from the sky blue
stripes by thin white stripes.

There are many photos of the municipal flag in the municipal Facebook page:
