It develops themes from the texts encoded in the proverbs, stories and maxims associated with the symbols. The themes covered include Akan cosmology, social and political organization, social and ethical values, economics and Akan knowledge systems. "Perhaps the most modern and certainly one of the most comprehensive works on Adinkra" Oluwatoyin Adepoju"
