African Adinkra Symbol The Heart - Carved Wood Wall Plaque

Adinkra Symbols are African Proverbs based in Akan and other West African cultures. These symbols handcrafted in Ghana, are found in many forms, but this beautiful Wood Plaque is my favorite. It can either be placed on a stand as seen in the photo or it can be placed on the wall, there is an opening in back for this purpose.  These plaques are vintage .
