Tursaansydän
The tursaansydän or tursan sydän , also called mursunsydän, 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.
