Here's a brief description about Adinkra symbols. 

Adinkra symbols were designed by the Akan people from Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana during the early 1800s. Many Adinkra symbols use radial or reflective symmetry and express deeply symbolic proverbs related to life, death, wisdom, and human behavior.

These symbols were often painted or stamped as patterns onto fabrics (Adinkra cloth), pottery, and more
