Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "Only the lion drinks from the leopard's palm wine pot"
"Only the lion drinks from the leopard's palm wine pot". The leopard and the lion are symbols of power and strength; the palm wine vessel stands for the well-being of the company. The two animals are probably meant to represent rival but equal opponents. Only a company as strong as that of the flag owners may dare to risk a confrontation. Author: Doris Kubisch
