This is the symbol for the town of Kurikka, Finland. Since this was the setting for our first international art exposition, I wanted to honor our hosts in a painting. The symbol was granted on September 14, 1951.The upper half shows a moose head, derived from a local legend in which moose hunters played a major role. The lower half shows two warrior clubs (kurikka=club). The symbols are such a great idea and really show the individuality of each town. I wish we had town symbols in the United States.
