Traditional weavings on the parliament wall

On the right and the left wall of the East Timor national parliament are hanging traditional weavings, each with the name of one of the districts. Each district has such a weaving on the left and the right, but there are not exactly the same, just similar.

Portuguese era municipal flag

It may have existed, or not. Some, not all, portuguese overseas municipalities recieved arms and flag in the period 1940-1974, after all metropolitan municipalities got one. Díli is the only one in Timor I know about.
