The Flag of Vučji Do

In the Historical Museum is preserved a company flag of the Montenegrin army from the Battle of Vučji Do. The Battle of Vučji Do, fought on July 28, 1876, was one of the largest battles of the Montenegrin–Ottoman Great War (1876–1878). Bearing an impressive number of bullet holes, the flag attracted attention not only in Cetinje but also in London, where it was exhibited at the Exhibition of the Balkan Countries in 1907. The flag is rectangular and has a single face (one-sided design). Its light red field is hand-sewn across the width from two pieces of cloth and bordered on all four sides by a wide white edge. At the center of the field is a cross bearing the initials of Nicholas I (King Nikola I of Montenegro).
