Ring Sankofa

This type of ring represents Sankofa, a migrador bird that is the symbol of the wisdom, knowledge and memory of peoples. Se wo were fi na wo sankofa a yenkyi, aphorism that means It won't hurt to learn from the past.  Sankofa means, in the language of the Akan of Ghana back to the roots or also learn from the past to better move forward. These expressions convey the eagerness of the Akan in search of knowledge based on observation and critical judgment. This bird is a mythical bird that flies forward but with its head turned back, which means to the Akan that the past serves as a guide for preparing the future or otherwise indicates the wisdom that allows us to draw lessons from the past to build the future. The Akan they believe that progress is necessary over time but that it is also necessary to collect the most valuable of the past in order to feed the future. In the Akan military system this symbol represented the rear on which the defence of society and the safeguarding of heritage depended.
