Flag Mystery

Land of the Thirteen Rays?

I never heard of or saw this CSA flag.

From the Richmond Daily Dispatch April 21, 1862:

A joint resolution Adopting the flag of the Confederate States of America.

Resolved, by the Congress of the Confederate States of America, That the flag of the Confederate States shall be as follows: A red field charged with a white saltier, having in the centre the device of a sun in his glory, on an azure shield, the rays of the sun corresponding with the number of the States composing the Confederacy.
