Every sip is a ritual. Every morning is a homecoming.
This wraparound ceramic mug is covered in the sacred symbols of African and Afro-Indigenous heritage—a visual tapestry of ancestral wisdom that surrounds you as you begin your day. From the first pour to the last drop, you are held by the presence of those who came before.
The design features dozens of powerful symbols rendered in rich terracotta, burnt orange, gold, and cream against a deep black background. Each symbol carries meaning. Each pattern tells a story. Together, they create a visual altar that fits in the palm of your hand.
The Symbols:
African Masks represent the spirits of ancestors watching over you. Multiple mask styles honor the diversity of African cultures and the many faces of our lineage.
Adinkra Symbols are West African ideographic symbols that convey wisdom and philosophical concepts. This design includes the Ankh (eternal life), Sankofa (learn from the past), Gye Nyame (supremacy of God), and other sacred symbols that have guided our people for centuries.
The Raised Fist represents resistance, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for justice. It is a symbol of Black Power and the refusal to be silenced.
The Africa Continent appears multiple times, reminding us of the motherland—the source, the root, the beginning of humanity itself.
Geometric Patterns including chevrons, diamonds, Greek key designs, and tribal borders represent the mathematical genius and artistic brilliance of African civilizations. These patterns adorned temples, textiles, and sacred spaces long before colonization.
Floral Mandalas blend African and Indigenous design traditions, honoring the fusion of cultures that created the Cimarron spirit—two roots, one tree.
