These brass Sankofa bird earrings from Ghana are truly a delight as they are, but perhaps you would enjoy learning their story, too. Originating in the art of the Akan people of West Africa, a Sankofa bird flies forward, with its neck bent towards its back and carrying a precious egg in its mouth. Sankofa is associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates as: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten”, reminding us of the importance of leaning from the past.
