Gyaman (also spelled Jamang, Gyaaman) was a medieval
Before European colonial administration in the late 19th century, the Gyaman king, known as the
Bonduku in modern-day Ivory Coast. The adinkra symbols are originated and designed through the handiwork and tireless effort of Bonohene Nana Kwadwo Agyemang Adinkra of Gyaman, although the actual creator of the adinkra symbols was most likely an earlier Bono artist with the name Adinkra much before the time of Kwadwo Adinkra.[3][4]
In the 19th century, Gyaman was subjugated by the
Samori's 1895 invasion. The French later expelled Samori in 1897, incorporating western areas of Gyaman into French West Africa.[5][2]
