Tattoo of Nyame Ye Ohene
Except for God
by picchio
DESCRIPTION AND MEANING:
This Adinkra symbol was sent by eBlack. It´s made of another Adinkra symbol, Gye Nyame, which means "god´s supremacy ", and of a black sun surrounding it.
In the Songhoi culture, the black colour, or "bibi", is a symbol of perfection and pureness. When the sun reaches up to the zenith, and is brightest, it´s called a "black sun".
It´s easy to understand how similar this is to the idea of Divine perfection.
This design means that God is above everything, and to him we owe what we have.
