Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Spider, Safohen, rooster and watch bird
The spider is considered wise, clever and cunning. On the Asafo flag, it signifies the divine guidance of the company. The cockerel and the clock-bird refer to the proverb: “We rule the cockerel and the clock-bird," which means as much as “we control the time and have the power to decide at any hour when events will occur”.Author: Doris Kubisch
