Ghanaian Gye Nyame Carving, hand-carried from Ghana [Make an Offer :]

Description: Original Hand-Made Ghanaian Art: Gye Nyame Symbol, red and black 9.5" x 11.5" I personally brought this back from Ghana. As you can see in the pics, there are two places on the back where the wood is separating due to drying out. I think they could be improved by added moisture. The front is not affected. The Gye Nyame symbol is an Adinkra symbol from Ghana that means "except for God" or "the supremacy of God". It's one of the most popular symbols in Ghana and is used in many ways, including on clothing, artwork, and decorations. The Gye Nyame symbol has multiple meanings, including: God's omnipotence The symbol represents God's power and the idea that people should not fear anything except God. God's immortality The symbol can be interpreted to mean that only God has seen the beginning and end of all creations. The hand of God The symbol depicts a person inside a hand, which can be interpreted to mean that people are held in the hand of God. Environmental responsibility The symbol can also be a reminder to take care of the Earth and its creatures. The Gye Nyame symbol is part of a rich tradition of Adinkra symbols in Ghana. Adinkra symbols are used in many ways, including in fabrics, pottery, logos, and architecture. They often represent concepts or aphorisms, and are often linked with proverbs.
