 The Maiden of Finland - among the elite of national symbols
In the struggle to defend autonomy depictions of the lion of Finland, pictures of an anonymous maiden personifying Finland, as well as the colours blue and white, were important instruments of propaganda.
In the first-ever symbol of Finland, the king, dressed like an ancient Roman, "embraces Finland, which is a woman reclining on the ground, wearing a turreted crown and supporting herself on a tilted coat of arms".
With all her limitations, Aura still remains in history as a verbal character and the first national personification of Finland.
