Description: Ikenga is a repository of strength. It symbolizes the strength of self. It's a vital element in igbo cosmology which stands side by side with a person's chi.
Ikenga is also known as chi.
It is a personal embodiment of human endeavor, success, achievement and victory.
Ikenga comes in various shapes but particularly it’s marked with its protruding horns,like that of a ram.
Typically this represents the aggressiveness of the Ram and the Igbo belief that for one to prosper he or she must plunge into a venture to succeed
The Ikenga represents your divine self in other words the self image of your Chi.
Ikenga isn’t limited to individual but also to the communities.
