Based on a personal web site at http://www.users.quest.net/~rae.4332/flags.html (no longer available), developed by an inhabitant of Palau, which shows the flags of all the 16 states of Palau the flag of Ngatpang is white with a green wreath of two branches and lit oil lamp in the centre. According the census Ngatpang has an area of 47 sq. km, a population of 221 inhabitants, and the capital is Oikuul.

In days past, Ngatpang was known as a pottery-making village. Abundant clay found in the hillsides was fashioned into water storage jars and a unique clay lamp which burned coconut oil. The state flag shows this clay lamp surrounded by a type of vine found here (source "Oltobed A Malt", Belau National Museum).
