In the local church hall, the Girl Guides have put up a display of strange symbols. A short tour of Google reveals them to be Adinkra Symbols from West Africa – specifically Ghana.
I’ve pasted some images below, but there are more on www.adinkra.org. My favourite is WO NSA DA MU A “If your hands are in the dish”, a symbol of participatory government, democracy and pluralism.

I always learn something new from your posts. Thank you. My favourite is the fern. I wondered what you were doing in the Church Hall and then Dolly enlightened me !
Do you know why they had been researching these symbols and it is interesting that the symbols do not represent what one would expect ?
