Adinkra Mawu African fan

12,95  IVA incluido

Adinkra Mawu African fan, handmade in the Republic of Benin with 100% cotton African wax fabric in white, black, and gold accents. Its design is composed of abstract symbols, hand shapes, and zoomorphic elements reminiscent of adinkra symbols, a visual writing system originating from the Akan people.

The name Adinkra Mawu pays homage to the sacred symbols used in West Africa to convey values ​​and proverbs, and to Mawu, the mother goddess of the Ewe and Fon people, a symbol of creation, the moon, and universal harmony.
💡 Cultural fact: Adinkra symbols are not decorative; each one represents an idea, such as strength, love, community, or spiritual protection.

Print: Black and gold pictograms on a white background with organic lines, evoking ancestral wisdom, mythology, and African visual language
