Summary
[edit]DescriptionJa'ir.jpg |
English: This image derives from the Serer Raampa pictography. An ancient style of writing that the high priests and priestesses of the Serer people of Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania used to use to communicate with each other. It was mainly religious. It was used by the Serer-Saafi and the Serer-Sine people among other branches of the Serer ethnic group.The name of this symbol is "ja'ir", which symbolizes "someone who is notable and deserves to be given Serer pyramid burial." The symbol also means death. In ancient Serer religion and culture, notable people were buried in pyramids. |
