As distinct from the State Flag of Norway, it denotes the presence of the Monarch (currently King Harald V). The design is at least 750 years old, but has gone in and out of use due to changes in geopolitics.

Some variants of the flag show a curved axe shaft.

Anyway. I've just been reading an article about Haakon VII and his lonely life after the death of Queen Maud. The Norwegian royal family is very small after all.
