The Ion Hewn| Urban Adinkra | The Eyes of The King
Introduction: In Akan society a vigilant King is needed to provide leadership. This attribute of a competent protectorate is still relevant today.
Description: The Eyes of The King is a cast medal replica of the Ohene Aniwa Adinkra symbol. This particular symbol signifies beauty, vigilance and excellence. Ohene Aniwa literally speaks of the capacity of a leader to be aware of what occurs in his domain and grasp the significance of what is happening around him.
Other Products: This medal was designed in union with The Blacksun Bloodmoon graphic novel series character I Haedon King. The Boutique Graven offers an Urban Adinkra medal for each of the thirteen main characters from the Blacksun Bloodmoon graphic novel series.
I Haedon King’s Dossier: I Haedon King, a perfectionist that struggles with balancing his spiritual wealth and our need for financial strength. I’s ability to respond without hesitation or council could be misconstrued as treachery, though one may also interpret his mannerisms as that of a king when time is the issue. Some contemplate their next move. I moves, often alone.
