The Ion Hewn| Urban Adinkra | The Servant Of The Court
Introduction: The oral account of the Akan people state that the “mpua” symbol was shaved on the heads of certain attendants of the Queen mother.
Description: The Servant of The Court is a cast medal replica of the Nkotimsefo Mpua Adinkra symbol. This particular symbol signifies loyalty and readiness to serve. Nkotimsefo Mpua is a highly recognizable ceremonial hairstyle associated with the royal court attendants. They are equivalent to marshals in the old judicial systems of Western civilization held responsible for bringing convicts, culprits, or criminals before the chief.
Other Products: This medal was designed in union with The Blacksun Bloodmoon graphic novel series character Iona Storm. The Boutique Graven offers an Urban Adinkra medal for each of the thirteen main characters from the Blacksun Bloodmoon graphic novel series.
Ms.Iona Storm’s Dossier: Folklore, urban legends, superstitions, oral traditions…Honor your ancestors for they can all be gone in a rapture and all you thought you knew will have ascended like vapor. Iona is not the average body of knowledge, she is hard to contact, not easy to attain, never obtained and impossible to contain. Every neighborhood in every city across the world has a myth about the origin of Iona, seeping under doors and creeping in through cracks in the foundations. But where is she? Iona is often in fellowship with Kindred.
Facts about Adinkra: The United Africa Company: When the Adinkra pattern became popular it became common place to find many stamp carvers who had amassed a large variety of Adinkra stamps. In the 1930s The United African Company created a local monopoly by producing their own brand of Adinkra textile. Today you can find factories that make their own Adinkra textiles in Tema, Akosombo, Juapong and other cities. These prints are now easily made into dresses, hats, bags and a variety of other clothing.
