Cirebon Sultanates

Cirebon

The Cirebon Sultanates are in West Java

Kacirebonan

KACIREBONAN SULTANATE (Sultan Kacirebonan IX) (Kesultanan Kacirebonan)
Kacirebonan has the smallest area, which lies to the north of Cirebon City & Kasepuhan.

Bendera Sultan Kacirebonan: Sultan's Personal Standard (with a golden frill) and Kacirebonan coat of arms can be seen below (coat of arms is the frilled green banner to the left):

Kanoman lies to the West of Cirebon City, and is the second largest in area.

H.R.H. THE SULTAN’S PERSONAL STANDARD (Bendera Sultan Kanoman) - A rectangular green flag with the Kanoman Emblem in the middle, below, the capital letters “KESULTANAN KANOMAN” & below that “CIREBON”, all in golden-yellow, around the flag is a golden frill:

Kasepuhan

KASEPUHAN SULTANATE (Sultan Sepuh XIV) (Kesultanan Kasepuhan)
Kasepuhan has the largest territory, with Cirebon City & the area south of it within its territory.

Bendera Kesultanan Kasepuhan
Sultanate Flag (without golden frill)

KASEPUHAN COAT OF ARMS (Lambang Kesultanan Kasepuhan)
A green “shield” with golden-yellow borders, zig-zag stripes plus a crown and a red “stripe” below, above the crown is red. On each side of the “shield” are golden leaves, with a yellow riband below, inscribed “KESULTANAN KASEPUHAN” and below that “CIREBON” both in red capital letters.
Note: the spelling for “Sultanate” is “Kesultanan” in spite of their spelling “Kasultanan”.

H.R.H. THE SULTAN’S PERSONAL STANDARD (Bendera Sultan Kasepuhan)
I would expect this to be a green rectangular flag (like those above) and a golden frill, with the Kasepuhan Emblem (above) in the middle, with the words “KESULTANAN KASEPUHAN” and below “CIREBON”, all in golden-yellow.
