Description

The members stood by,

at Arctic Ocean Edge...

hands clasped,

In Unity,

To witness the Unicorn of the Sea.





The Secret Order of the Narwhal Society brooch is a part of my ongoing Canadiana series, and is especially important to me as Narwhals are only found in the arctic waters of Canada and Greenland.



The myth of the Narwhal has been the stuff of Inuit legend, they believed that the narwhal's tusk was created when a woman with a harpoon rope tied around her waist was dragged into the ocean after the harpoon had struck a large narwhal. She was transformed into a narwhal herself, and her hair, which she was wearing in a twisted knot, became the characteristic spiral narwhal tusk.
