Adinkra Symbol Funtummireku Denkyemmirek





This is a symbol of two crocodiles who are sharing one stomach. Each depends on the other and represents diversity, democracy or the oneness of the human family despite cultural differences and diversities. Do you know a teacher or mentor who is trying to tell a historical story, well the Akan heritage of the people of Ghana is a great start. Unity in diversity are the words of the day.
Symbols leave great messages for friends and loved ones. At www.giftsfromdeezhands.com we have a variety of products that have Adinkra symbols on them.

Adinkra Symbol Duafe

Duafe, the wooden comb, is a symbol that represents female qualities including, love, patience, fondness, prudence and care. 
This was a prized article in possession by the Akan women. It was used to take care of her hair and kept her looking fly.  Her beautiful hair style showed off her womanhood and was a sign of how feminine she was.
Great for natural hair, Madam C. J. Walker bought those teeth closer together and heated up the comb creating a whole new style of hair show.Visit www.giftsfromdeezhands.com to see great gifts with Adinkra symbols.
