Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "The big water bird catches the fish from its own angle"
"The big water bird catches a fish from a different angle". In this instance, the "narrator" has been replaced by a leopard. The leopard is regarded by the Fante as the emblem of chieftains and military dignitaries. If the owners of the flag identify themselves with the leopard, the leopard simply takes over the role of the narrator and is hence not part of the actual scene. According to a different interpretation, the waterfowl company lays claim to the better technique in the battle against the enemy, while the leopard company has to use the conventional method, the dragnet.
