Facts about Adinkra: The Bowdich Adinkra Theory: Thomas E. Bowdich, author of Mission from Cape Coast to Ashantee was sent to Ghana by the British government from 1817-1819. Bowdich’s book includes a large drawing of The Odwira Festival which took place in 1817. In this drawing there are Akan men clothed in material with Adinkra symbols stamped on them. Some of this material can be found in the Museum of Mankind at The British Museum of London. British records verified that the cloth was collected from the Gold Coast area in 1817, a year before the Asante – Gyaman war, leaving room for doubt in the Ashante reports that the Adinkra was not originated until 1818.
