Totem

This elegant, lyrical art deco composition depicts a Scandinavian totem - a heron with a pebble in its beak. In addition to Scandinavia, the figurative white heron as a good herald has been known since antiquity throughout Eurasia. A white heron with a pebble in its beak is a powerful amulet, a gradator from dark forces, an allied spirit and a messenger of increasing wealth.
