The illustrations show the goat as having two main uses being for consumption or craftsmanship. Regarding consumption, goat's cheese was a popular staple among Mediterranean regions as goats were more common than cows. As indicated in the central image, goats are better suited to live in mountainous regions in comparison to cattle making them commonplace in nations such as Switzerland and Austria. To add, as goat leather is known for its lightweight and robust properties, it makes a useful resource for creating items such as gloves or knapsacks. These qualities extend to Morocco book binding which typically uses goat skin. This leather is usually dyed with a variety of colours as shown in the illustration. Despite being commonly referred to as 'Morocco leather', the highest quality of goat skin actually came from northern Nigeria. It is therefore called 'Morocco leather' simply because Morocco is where it was exported and sold internationally with previous names such as 'Barbary skins'. Ultimately, the goat serves a practical purpose of consumption for farmers and goat leather is portrayed as a status symbol for the wealthy in society.
