Saffarid Dynasty Flag (861–1002)

The Saffarid Dynasty Flag (861–1002) is commonly depicted as a green field with a white serrated edge, symbolizing Persian sovereignty and military strength. The Saffarid Dynasty, founded by Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar, was one of the first Persian dynasties to fully reject Abbasid rule, marking a decisive break from Arab control over Persia. The green color represented Islam, while the white serrated pattern might have symbolized fortified defenses or military resilience. The Saffarids expanded their rule across Khorasan, Sistan, and Afghanistan, paving the way for later Persian dynasties such as the Samanids and Buyids.
