The flag
The flag, with a black background and stripes of yellow, black, and white from the Asanteman flag, features giant embroideries of the porcupine which is the emblem of the Asante Kingdom, a tiger and an eagle.
The eagle in the flag has gripped the tiger while the Porcupine walked untouched or unharmed. It was explained that the eagle possesses the power to defeat a tiger but can’t get close to the Porcupine.
