The Laser cut combs are available in the following options: 1 - First Symbol - Dwennimmen Size: 9" height x 3.5 width x 1/4 thickness inches Adinkra (ä-diŋ-krä) symbol for strength - Dwennimmen means ram’s horns.

I love this Fawohodie symbol because it reminds me of thousands of unknown people who lost their freedom, lives and names and when they were taken from Africa. People who lost everything to built the United States, the land of the free. People who I proudly call my ancestors The Nation of Islam believed that the real names of the African Americans was taken and replaced with their slave master’s names when they were enslaved from Africa. In protest, Malcolm X refused to use his ‘slave master’ surname "Little" until he found his real name. He replaced his surname “Little” with the letter “X”. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 - Third Symbol - Nkyinkym Size: 9" height x 4.25 width x 1/4 thickness inches Nkyinkym means 'twisted.
