Background

Rooted in the tradition of ancient West African iconography, the Adinkra family of symbols brings a new perspective to age old tradition with the introduction of 66 striking icons.

Choose Adinkra Calabash for the hand-hewn quality found in African art, Adinkra FineFine for a clearer and more contemporary look or Adinkra WantaWanta to achieve a wax print/batik-like effect that adds a certain touch of West African authenticity to any project.
