The carving "A Circle of Musk oxen" has been one of Jonas' signature carvings for many years. When Musk oxen protect their young ones from the pack of wolves, they form a circle facing outward, with the young ones safely inside. This creates a very powerful fortress against any attacks. Therefore, the carving symbolizes one of power and protection. Jonas spoke of the carving as not just a scene of wildlife but also as "a symbol of a very powerful protection from any harms or threats."
