The Wisdom of Sankofa The handle is masterfully carved into the form of the Sankofa, a mythical bird reaching back to retrieve an egg from its back. This powerful Adinkra symbol represents the importance of reaching back to one's roots to move forward—a reminder that it is never a mistake to return for that which has been forgotten.
