Meretrish

African walnut table with mermaid sculpture and background relief made of Finnish Birch.
Poseidon, lord of the Sea, is furious with the approaching Vikings because he is jealous and believes that his beloved Meretrish might fall in love with anyone of them. In his fury he creates a wild storm and rises above the sea to invoke havoc with the aid of thunder and lightning. The magnificence of his power is shown in the way his fury and anger are controlled so that they simply affect the Vikings but leave Meretrish safe and secure in her peaceful and oblivious waiting.
