SEATO poster 181, flag ring (Bengali, Karachi)
A Bengali-language SEATO poster in the flag-ring design: eight member-state flags and olive sprigs around a circle of clasped hands. The slogan reads 'Mutual cooperation for peaceful progress'. The tell is glittering generalities and transfer: peace, progress and joined hands are attached to a security alliance, and the member flags stand for shared membership.
