Kotaringin was the name used by Dutch administrators in the 19th century. I suppose this was done to differentiate it from Kotawaringin in Banka island. However its real name is Kotawaringin, in southwest Kalimantan, on the Lamandau river. The present settlement was once the capital of an ancient sultanate. (cf. Indonesia handbook, 1989)
The Muslim sultanates in Dutch Borneo were used as buffer states between inland
Dayaks and sea-faring peoples like the Buginese and Sulu-peoples. They were
described as 'weak states', although there were fierce rebellions in the 19th
century, which threatened the Dutch presence in the whole archipelago.

There are many flags of Kotaringin Sultanate in Dutch East India (now Indonesia). I drew them some years ago, but a recent issue of Flagmaster (99) shows a plate provided by Armand du Payrat with some variations mainly in the colors. Shown here are my old drawings (some
corrected) and others with the differences stated.

Flagmaster (99) shows this flag mirrored (with the hoist at left side) - it is presumably the observe side.
Flagmaster (99) image (on right) shows the figures are white, except one that is red, and the frame is narrower.

Royal Standard
image by Eugene Ipavec, 24 June 2010
The Royal Standard of Kutaringin (ex Kota Waringin); note the gold frill in
the base, I think the flagpole goes at the right as when writing Jawi
(Arabic script in Malaysia/Indonesia) they write from right to left.
