"The Akan of Ghana and La Côte d'Ivoire make extensive use of a system of ideographic and pictographic symbols. Individually, each symbol is associated with a specific proverb or saying rooted in the Akan experience. Collectively, these symbols form a system of writing that preserves and transmits the accumulated cultural values of the Akan people. This ideographic and pictographic writing system can be seen in use extensively in textiles, pottery, metal casting, woodcarving, and architecture."
