Totem

This elegant, lyrical, Art Deco composition depicts a traditional Scandinavian totem, a white heron with a pebble in its beak. In addition to Scandinavia the image of the white heron as a good messenger has been known throughout Eurasia since antiquity. A white heron with a pebble in its beak is a powerful talisman, a guardian against dark forces, an allied spirit, and a messenger of increasing prosperity.
