Stamp for Adinkra cloth 10.08.1176

The symbol of this stamp is called Dwannini Mmen which litterally means the ram's horn meaning "Strength with humility". The ram will fight fiercely against an adversary, but it also submits humbly to slaughter. A symbol of the ephemerality or temporariness of good times.Good situations are not permanent so the fortunate should not boast; bad situations are not permanent so the less fortunate should not give up. No condition is permanent, hence, man should be humble, cooperative and hopeful in all his endeavours.
