Details

Rich textures surround a wall mirror with West African mystique from designer Rita Addo Zakour. Crafted and painted by hand, it features adinkra symbols in each corner. The round motifs depict adinkrahene, which indicates greatness, charisma, and leadership. The other symbol is nea onnim no sua a ohu, which translates to "he who does not know can know from learning'. Adinkra symbols are visual icons that were created by the Ashanti peoples; they represent common proverbs or concepts.
