I located a flag at www.morovis.net
. This pueblo seems to be an important place to the Taino people
(the original inhabitants of Boriken (Puerto Rico). Morovis, also
known as 'La Isla menos Morovis' is in north central Puerto Rico,
35 km. southwest of San Juan. It was founded in 1818 and there
are 26,516 inh.

Strange. 'La Isla menos Morovis' means 'The Island except
Morovis'
Santiago Dotor, 3 Febuary 2000
Morovis - In a very curious arrangement, the eagle head in the
flag is turned hoist-ward ("diestra" - to the right
wing) 'in this case'. The eagle looks to its left wing in the
shield. No explanation given to this unless we conclude that, in
flag design, things should point to the hoist to indicate its
obverse arrangement and to the fly in its reverse side.
