Sankofa, an Adinkra symbol that means "one must examine the past in order to move forward," is a common figure found in wrought and cast iron fencing

Saturated with meaning, Adinkra have come to represent the richness of Akan culture in particular and African culture in general. They serve as a concise way to convey deep truths in visual form. In fact, many of the symbols have their own associated Akan proverbs. Their widespread adoption, especially among African Americans and other Africans across the diaspora, has solidified their status as icons of African symbolism and philosophy. (adinkrasymbols.org)
