This graduation stole was made in Ghana. The symbol is an adinkra symbol called Gye Nyame. The Gye nyame symbol is probably the best known adinkra symbol from Ghana. It means “except for God” and signifies the all-knowing power of God. It is used in decorations, clothing, and artwork. It is a reflection of the religious character of the Ghanaian people. http://blog.africaimports.com/wordpress/2009/02/the-gye-nyame-symbol-a-piece-of-african-history/
