Funtumfunefu Denkyemfunefu — The Adinkra symbol of Unity
Two crocodile heads. One stomach. Everything they swallow feeds both of them equally. They are still fighting. The Akan people of Ghana looked at this image and did not call it a failure. They called it the most honest picture of what human community actually is — shared destiny, and still competing — and they made it into a symbol. Not to celebrate the conflict. To ask the question it raises: if the stomach is already one, what exactly are the heads fighting about?
