ALTARAS, CAUNE & CIE.

The FOTW flag is yellow with a brown animal, tentatively drawn as a lion guardant. Ivan Sache noted that the source animal could also be a horse.

Rosanoski points out that Bois actually depicts a black animal, possibly facing the hoist with a long nose. He preferred retaining that depiction alongside the tentative interpretation. To him it resembled a horse, although Marseilles’ location on the Golfe du Lion suggested a possible reason for a lion; neither identification is settled.
