Aya (Ah-yah)
     Aya (above) is the Adinkra symbol of endurance, independence, defiance against difficulties, hardiness, perseverance and resourcefulness. This symbol is a depiction of a fern, a hardy and rugged plant that grows in and around unusual terrain. Aya was often used by African kings, worn as an expression of fearlessness and independence.
