Image description

originally a royal cloth worn during mourning; Adinkra cloth is now more widely used; each block is filled in with stamped patterns; the double curves are derived from ram's horns, a symbol of royalty; the concentric circles mean eternal kingship; the word adinkra means message and also refers to leave-taking or separation; the circles with dots inside (middle far left), called "mate masie" ("what i hear I keep") mean wisdom, knowledge and memory; the "U"s with flowers/stars inside (middle left) called "osrane and nsoromma" (the moon and the stars) symbolise faithfulness and benevolence, and occassionally co-operation;
