Learn from History

Artisan Robert Lanyo of Ghana handcrafts this set of four ebony wood ornaments of the Sankofa Adinkra symbol of a backwards looking bird, which means to look back into history and learn from what may otherwise be forgotten. The ornaments come with the natural assorted colors of ebony wood, which ranges from light brown, to a rich warm brown, to near-black, depending on the particular section of wood.
