The bottom end cap on a barber pole symbolizes what?

  1. A basin that was used to catch the blood

  2. A normal basin

  3. The bloodletting bowl

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: A basin that was used to catch the blood

The correct answer is A. The bottom end cap on a barber pole symbolizes a basin that was used to catch the blood. Traditionally, the red and white stripes on a barber pole represent blood and bandages from the practice of bloodletting. Barbers used to perform bloodletting as a form of medical treatment, and the pole outside their shops would indicate this practice to potential customers. The basin at the bottom of the pole would collect the blood during these procedures.
