Happy day #11


Before you rush to eat that chocolate

I am always attracted to the beautiful packaging and wrapper of the chocolate boxes. I am not a great fan of chocolate therefore I can take my own sweet time to appreciate the packaging. And often I found some beautiful symbols and lately I found out that they are called Adinkra Symbols.

More than just pretty designs, Adinkra symbols are taken from traditional West African culture, each with its own special meaning. Their evocative symbols convey traditional wisdom, aspects of life or the environment. So look out for those interesting symbols before rushing to the chocolate. Here is a guide to the meaning behind some of the symbols.
