Head of Old Statue of Nkrumah

The head of the old statue of Nkrumah displayed on top of a stone with the Adinkra symbol "Owuo Atwedee" meaning “ladder of death.”

This symbol gets its name from the proverb, “Owuo atwedee baakofoo mforo,” meaning, “Death’s ladder is not climbed by just one person.” It is a symbol of the certainty and universality of death.
