Gye Nyame(Adinkra Symbols) 2
I bring to my readers the second edition of the Adinkra symbols of an ethnic group in Ghana named the Ashanti. It is one of the pillars on which their heritage is built on. They express their values and beliefs in these symbols they refer to us Adinkra. It is so interesting to know that, some of these symbols do have wonderful meanings which relate to their daily lives. Below is one of the many beautiful symbols of the Ashantis.
"Gye Nyame'
Gye Nyame literally means (except God). I can boldly pronounce that, it is the commonest and most used of all the adinkra symbols of the Akans. They are mostly inscribed in clothes, writings, walls and much other architecture works. This basically shows the supremacy of God. That is to say, except God, nothing else could be done.
It is good to see how the Akans express their faith in their creator. The beauty of these designs are so impressive in every possible way it is used.
That's just about it for today. Let us meet another day to share the next beautiful Adinkra symbols made by the Akans of Ghana in West Africa. Thanks for passing by.
