The left field consists of six horizontal stripes, alternating between red and white (silver) colours. The right field features nine yellow (golden) six-armed stars, placed in three horizontal rows, each containing three stars. The nine stars are meant to symbolize the nine gminas (municipalities) of the county.[1] The design was based on the historical coat of arms of the Sandomierz Voivodeship, used from 14th to 18th centuries.[1][2]

The middle stripe is yellow, while the other stripes, dark blue. In the centre of the flag is placed the coat of arms of the county.
