The wily Grey Heron has always held a place of importance in Maldivian folklore. From the folk stories of “Maakana Kalo” to modern incarnations in political satire, the Maakana or the Grey Heron has always played the role of an intelligent and cunning character. This is seemingly true upon sighting a heron on the beach, standing on one leg, in deep thought.
The Heron Pendant captures the intelligence and perseverance of this magnificent creature.
