The Chaldean flag (Chaldean Neo-Aramaic: ܐܬܐ ܟܠܕܝܐ ʾāṯā ʾkaldāyē) is an Assyrian separatist ethnic flag designed to represent Chaldean Catholics. The flag was created by Amer Hanna Fatuhi (Shendaj), an artist and self-proclaimed historian who currently resides in the Metro Detroit area, where a considerable portion of Assyrians of the Chaldean Catholic Church live.
