Puzzle Description:

Symbol for slavery and captivity on the left, good marriage on the right. There is no intended significance of the pairing. :-)

The double diamond on the left is EPA which means "handcuffs" and is a symbol of law and justice, or slavery and captivity.

The weave pattern on the right has a double meaning. The term KETE PA translates to "good bed" and also means "good marriage." There is an expression in Ghana that a woman who has a good marriage is said to sleep on a good bed.

Another good puzzle. The double diamond reminded me of cartoony crossed eyes.

I laughed at the two symbols being in the same puzzle. :) lol
Nice solve

Thanks, Telly. Let's say it's a puzzle of opposites! :-)
