Adinkra Symbol Themed Acrylic on Canvas Painting, "Adinkra"

This original acrylic on canvas painting from Ghana's Seth Korkordi Selom has a wonderfully tribal vibe. The artist depicts the adinkra symbol known as denkyem (tortoise), which is a symbol of adaptability. Surrounding the figures are bold geometric motifs in brown and scarlet. Adinkra symbols are visual icons used by the Asante peoples of West Africa to represent a belief or proverb.
