This symbol is called NKYINKYIM meaning "twisting" which is a symbol of initiative, dynamism and versatility in African symbols known as adinkra. Such symbols are commonly used in the west African country of Ghana...
In addition, I found this pattern while searching for the image above, however upon investigation it may not have any significance as far as adinkra is concerned...
The next steps are to investigate changing how the codelets choose color, so that RGB values can be automatically filled in from selecting a color using 'colorChooser', and to continue testing Rug Weaver with additional patterns.
My thanks to www.adinkra.org for their wonderful website that decodes traditional adinkra symbols. It will certainly be a source for additional inspiration in coding more of the adinkra symbols in the Rug Weaver tool.
