    Description

    The
    tursaansydän
    or
    tursan sydän
    (Finnish
    for 'heart of Tursas
    ' or 'heart of octopus'), also called
    mursunsydän
    ('heart of the w
    alrus
    '), is an ancient symbol used in Northern Europe. The symbol originates from prehistoric times and incorporates a swastika
    .
    The
    tursaansydän
    was believed to bring good luck and protect from curses, and was used as a decorative motif on wooden furniture and buildings in Finland
    . During the 18th century the simple swastika became more popular in Finnish wood decoration than the more complex
    tursaansydän
    .
