The Pennant of the Town is made by changing the length and width,
as well as by the way of

The Mayor's Banner is in the form of an armorial flag on which
the coat of arms of the town
is projected onto a blue rectangle. The armorial flag is bordered with
a margin of town colours - red, white and blue. The Mayor has the right
to use the banner on festival occasions.

This matches well with Slovakian COA map I refered to several times
before. The flag matches the SK site showing all the COAs and flags. The
COA shown there is slightly different, in that the flag carried by the
lamb is white with red couped cross.
