Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Hut and one-armed man

Is the house a hut or a shrine? Does the recumbent position of the one-armed man provide a clue to his situation, for instance imprisonment, an accident or death? Does the missing arm suggest a disability, an injury or perhaps the lack or, indeed, the possession of special abilities? The motif doesn’t provide any clear answers. The Union Jack has been cut out from a printed, machine-produced United Kingdom national flag. Author: Doris Kubisch
