*Adinkra are visual symbols from the Akan tribes of Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire in West Africa. They represent concepts, original thoughts, and popular proverbs in easily memorable form. They’re also a record of historical events and express traditional attitudes. Gye Nyame (translates ‘except God’) expresses belief in a Supreme Being, God). Cowries
