Adinkra Symbols, Pt 1
Author: admin24 Oct 08
You’re probably familiar with the West African symbology known as Adinkra. I won’t go into the details of where they come from and why they’re used. What I am going to do is make available these symbols to artists who may want to use them in their designs. I’ll be putting up collections of 15 or 20 along with their names and meanings as I have time. This is the first installment in .jpg format. To get them onto your machine just drag the image to your hard drive if you’re on a Mac. If you are on a PC I believe a right click will allow you to save.
Part 2 of the Adinkra symbols can be found here

Would like to purchase a copy of the symbols to be matted and framed in a 8×11 for my dinning room. I want the symbol painted black with a white background. How would I go about ordering tis?
Hi Victoria,
The symbols are free for the taking. You can just drag a symbol to your desktop (on the Mac), not sure how to do that on a PC. Maybe a frame shop or hobby store could output them to your specs and frame them.
