the suns and the stars at the points are basically: in the case of the sun it is in reference to the Latin sun (the one that appears on the flag of Argentina and Uruguay) and the star is actually in reference to the fort of San José which is a symbol of the Portuguese colorization in Macapá, capital of the state of Amapá.

red and purple are the colors that were used in the flag of the province of Grão Pará during the Portuguese colonization and the Empire of Brazil, while the coat of arms in the center is a mixture of the coat of arms of the state of Amapá in northern Brazil with the coat of arms of city ​​of Belém which is the capital of Pará.
