Sankofa Bird Pendant — Akan Wisdom & Memory Symbol

$78.75 $102.90 Save 23%

The Sankofa bird is one of the most profound symbols in the Akan tradition of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Depicted with its head turned backward while its feet face forward, carrying a precious egg in its mouth, Sankofa teaches: "Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi" — it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.

Our Sankofa pendant honors this philosophy in 925 sterling silver with an oxidized finish that deepens the engraved Adinkra patterning on the bird's body. The egg — symbol of ancestral knowledge and future potential — is rendered as a polished cabochon of natural obsidian. This is a pendant for those who understand that wisdom flows from memory.

Details:

  • 925 Sterling Silver, oxidized finish
  • Natural obsidian cabochon egg
  • Pendant: 28mm × 20mm
  • Chain: 20" rope chain with lobster clasp
  • Weight: ~7.8g
