According to expert in animals totems and symbolisms, these animal illustrate both the masculine and feminine qualities that exist in every being.

The bull is characterized by bold and rigid energies while the cow is far more gentle and tranquil.

They remind us to constantly ensure that these energies are in harmonious balance. The cowhide is the natural, unbleached skin and hair of a cow. It retains the original colouring of the animal.

In the Northern, Upper East, Upper West, and Savannah Regions of Ghana, it is common to see the natural cowhide used as floor mat, wall hangings, boot and sword.
