== Home of Adinkra == Ntonso is the place where the adinkra cloth is made in Ghana. The traditional adinkra is made from the scratch locally. It is the producer of Ghana's adinkra, a fabric known for its proverbial wisdom and symbols. The cloth was initially worn for funerals only in the Ashanti region of Ghana. It comes in a variety of colors such as brown, red and black. Currently, it is produced in all colors and used everywhere in Ghana.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Visit Ghana {{!}} Ntonso Adinkra Cloth Village|url=https://visitghana.com/attractions/ntonso-adinkra-cloth-village/|access-date=2020-08-11|website=Visit Ghana|language=en-US}}</ref>
