Rare Asafo flag from the 19th century—iconography imagery of folkloric creatures was among the popular requested designs during the late 19th century, inspired by the mythical griffins and wyverns of European heraldry.
 
They are depicted on frankaa (flags) as a sign of fearsome power and the "all-seeing" against enemies.
 
The three ritual gong instruments play a fundamental part in alerting the Asafo companies and community.
