Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Woman, houses, leopard and flag of Ghana
The depicted scene could be of a village or a district in a town. A woman is hiding, standing closely behind a house, while a Leopard is seemingly strolling down the village main street. The motif illustrates the Asafo company’s ancillary function as the fire brigade and police force. The company catches wild animals that threaten the safety of the village and intimidate the local population. The flag bearers probably identify with the leopard and thus demonstrate their control over their village or municipal district by means of this depiction. Author: Doris Kubisch
