A flag on display at the Fuerte Real Felipe museum in Callao, near Lima,
run by the army, shows rather a golden sun with facial features. The guide
told me the flags are really old, but I think they are reproductions. The
original flags were behind glass. I saw the same flag in a magazine for
Peruvian pupils about history: the sun was the same.

I believe that this image is wrong. I checked it and I saw that
according the image source only must be red the ring. Furthermore
in this era the suns were generally depicted with face (in the source
face is not pictured). Source is a plate in the article Peru of the
Hispano American Enciclopaedya, volume 43. This Enciclopedya
reproce mainly the flags plates from Flaggenbuch 1905
[ruh05].

Why on earth would Flaggenbuch 1905
[ruh05]
show the short-lived 1822-1823 Peruvian flag
when the flag used in 1905 was the same as
the one adopted in 1825,
still in use nowadays?

According to The American Hispanic Encyclopaedia,
on 1822-03-15, the Marquis of Torre Tagle, supreme delegate,
dictated a decree, modifying the previous, that said: «The
national flag of Peru will be composed of a transverse white
stripe between two flesh-colored of the same width, with a sun
also flesh-colored on the white stripe.»

My image is wrong. I checked the source (Hispano American
Enciclopaedya, volume 43) and I see that I pictured red sun wrongly,
when, according the image source only must be red the ring.

Perhaps influenced by the design of a previous
and a following flag? (Or is that one also
mistaken?)

all flesh-colored with a white sun in the center.» (Source: The
American Hispanic Encyclopaedia)
Jaume Ollé, 26 Jul 1996,
further quoting a decree of 15 Mar 1822
«The flag of the mercantile ships will be equal
to the national, with the difrerence
of not to carry the flesh-colored sun
in the band of the center» (Source: The American
Hispanic Encyclopaedia)

Identical to the current and
contemporary flag of Austria.
