The Maiden of Finland is the personification of Finland, much as Marianne in France, Deutscher Michel in Germany and Uncle Sam for the United States. She is a young woman in her mid-twenties with blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing national costume or a white dress, she was originally called Aura after the Aura river in Turku.
