Adinkra Amulet Pendants: Ancient African Wisdom for the 21st Century

Fafanto: Adinkra symbol of gentleness, tenderness, honesty and fragility

Handcrafted with love and ancestral intention, each Adinkra Amulet Pendant carries the wisdom of an ancient symbol from Ghana, West Africa. The Adinkra symbols are bridges between worlds, visual prayers that speak of strength, creativity, resilience and remembrance.

Each pendant is shaped by hand, born of earth, fire and ancestral guidance, and infused with the alchemical beauty of Raku firing. They are burnished to a smooth sheen with my favourite beach pebble and the symbol is carved by hand into the clay. No two are ever the same, each carries its own story and energy, ready to support you on your journey.

The pendant measures 3.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm tall (including the bead detail) It is strung with a waxed cotton cord, tied with 2 sliding knots so you can wear the pendant long or short. Cord length is 76 cm.

Wearing your Adinkra Amulet is an act of connection, a way to carry the blessings of the ancestors close to your heart.
