Sampit state in Dutch East India has two flags or ensigns. The images above are from D. Ruhl, and variations below are from a plate in Flagmaster 99.
Sampit is a settlement along the Sampit river in south central Kalimantan. It was one of several Muslim sultanates in Dutch Borneo that 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.

Note that all of these flags show the zulfikar, one of the most ancient of
Islamic symbols. More information about this symbol can be found in on our page
about zulfikar on Ottoman Empire flags.

This kingdom was the first Moslem state in Indonesia, which dates from 1267 to about 1511 (when the Portuguese took Malacca). There are a lot of Arms & Flags in this area (also in Malaysia = Kelantan Tiger-Flag etc.) where a Jawi (the Malay term for an Arab script) took the form of a lion, tiger or other beast), this one is a "Garuda".photo from Janis Lasmanis, 25 April 2020
