Symbols of Brazatortas

The flag of Brazatortas (photo) is prescribed by an Order issued on 10 December 1997 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 19 December 1997 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 56 p. 8,573 (text).
The flag is described as follows:

Flag: Rectangular, in proportions 2:3, composed of a white diagonal stripe running from the hoist's lower angle to the fly's upper angle, the upper triangle, red and the lower, green; the municipal coat of arms on the white stripe.

The coat of arms of Brazatortas is prescribed by an Order issued on 10 December 1997 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 19 December 1997 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 56 p. 8,573 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:

Coat of arms: Tierced per bend sinister, 1. Gules a holly oak argent, 2. Argent a garb of three spikes vert, 3. Vert a sheep argent. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed.

The Royal Academy of History rejected the proposed symbols.
The design of the coat of arms is compliant with the theoretical rules of heraldry. However, the arms lack the fundamental balance of areas; there is no example of tierced per bend sinister arms in family heraldry, and even less in municipal heraldry. Such an uncommon partition, acceptable from an esthetic point of view with plain areas, is totally inadequate when charged with elements, which have to be strongly dimitiated and are lost in their respective fields.
The charges, in spite of being excessively common (a tree, spikes and a sheep), could be accepted, provided they are placed in fields more adequate to their shape, as prescribed by the norms of good heraldic design. The Academy could validate the proposed flag, which repeats the arms, "without any inconvenience", since the very loose tradition of municipal flags accept such new designs. However, the coat of arms is represented in a different way from the stand-alone version. The Academy expected a new proposal correcting these flags.
