Adinkra Symbols: The Visual Philosophy of the Akan People
Adinkra symbols are a system of visual communication developed by the Akan people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Each of the 40+ symbols represents a concept, proverb, or philosophical idea. Sankofa means "learn from the past." Gye Nyame means "except for God." Dwennimmen means "strength with humility."
