Puzzle Description:

Symbol of architectural security and symbol of financial security.

On the left is FIHANKRA which means house or compound. This is a symbol of security and safety. An interesting note:
It is typical of Akan (Asante) architecture that the communal housing compound is designed with only one entrance and exit.

On the right is BESE SAKA which means "sack of cola nuts." This is a symbol of affluence, power, abundance, plenty, togetherness and unity. The cola nut played an important role in the economic life of Ghana. A widely-used cash crop, it is closely associated with affluence and abundance. This symbol also represents the role of agriculture and trade in bringing peoples together.

I sense a theme in these... easy borders, easy left side, tougher right side.

Good puzzle.

Thanks, Adam. It just happens that way, not intentional. Maybe I just naturally start with the design that is easier to draw, and it is usually the one that is easier to solve. Sometimes. :-)
