In the village of Ntonso, we were given a lesson on Adinkra symbols including the making of the signature dye and the meaning of the symbols. We were also able to dye our own cloth with selected symbols. I chose the Sankofa, Leadership, Year of Return, and the Power of Love Adinkra symbols. Some of the Ntonso kiddies showed some love too. #NtonsoVillage #AdinkraSymbols #AshantiPeople #KumasiGhana #Ghana🇬🇭 #GhanaCulture #YearOfReturn #ICPtravel #CBBexperience (at Ntonso, Ashanti, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7BwbPzgi7F/?igshid=12jxkgrilbk50
