Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke

Its meaning is associated with that of the BOTTLE. They represent the state of material and spiritual goods. Barrels full of wine indicate richness and well-being. Barrels precede the roar of a bull. This animal is associated with the creative power of spring. Empty or broken barrels signal the fear of ruin, or an economic or spiritual state that leaves much to be desired.
