Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Palm wine
This flag replete with an unusual tripartite background picks up the popular theme of the palm wine pot. Several symbols coalesce in this flag: the symbol of the upright, sealed palm wine pot can be interpreted by the following proverb: "The palm wine pot is never empty". The yellow upright striding figure pointing to the closed vessel and the flagpole symbolises the owners of the flag. Both symbols stand for a successful company. The palm wine pot, which is never empty, means that the company will lack for nothing. The prisoner, who has just lost the other palm wine pot, as well as the two other confused-looking individuals, represent the vanquished rival company. Author: Doris Kubisch
