  • 10 Cock

       In the bestiary of symbolism, the cock is the symbolic creature for France, as the lion is for England or the dragon for Wales. This symbolism is very ancient, having its roots in Gallo-Roman times due to a partial homonymy between the Latin word Gallus, a cock, and Gallia, Gaul - the Latin name for the area today known as France. The effigy of the cock is still used as a symbol of modern France; it features on the great seal of state, standing on the rudder of the ship steered by Liberty. However, le coq is most commonly seen as a symbol or mascot for French teams in the world of sport.

  • 11 sarape

    (Sp. model spelled same [sarape], origin not found)
       Watts glosses this as a band of silk or wool, generally about twelve inches wide and sometimes fringed on the ends. It is worn like a belt, wrapped several times around the waist. Watts includes serape as an alternate form, but he indicates that serape also has separate meanings (see serape). This item of clothing is commonly seen in illustrations depicting the early vaqueros. The DRAE and Santamaría give similar meanings for the term. Both gloss sarape as a wool blanket or cotton quilt with a hole in the center for a person's head. Generally brightly colored, it is worn as a protection against the cold or used as a blanket. In Mexico, zarape is also an acceptable spelling.
