Description
Adinkra are visual symbols with historical and philosophical significance originating from the people of Ghana and La Cote D’Ivoire.
These symbols serve as a simple way of communicating deep, philosophical, and proverbial truths in visual forms.
Adinkra symbols are extensively used in pottery and are also incorporated into walls and other architectural features. In times past, people decorated clothes with adinkra symbols to tell a story and express their thoughts or feelings, and these clothes were traditionally made for royalties to wear at religious ceremonies.
This decorative Ghanaian artistic wall hanging has six (6) beautifully crafted Adinkra art engraved in the center, and the frame is made from Sese wood.
The names of the symbols and their meanings are beautifully inscribed at the back of the frame.
