Dolphin Paperweights

World mythology are boundless with stories of dolphins, whales and porpoises, collectively known as cetacea.  This popularity may stem from the impressive size of the large whales, or the playful exertions of the acrobatic dolphins, not to mention the many stories of cetacea coming to the aid of shipwrecked sailors and stranded fishermen. Several themes commonly appear in ancient mythology from Greece to the tiny islands of the Pacific, though there is one element present in all: since time immemorial humans and cetacea have shared a very close, and quite unique, bond. Moreover, this appears to be as true today as it was five thousand years ago. 

Dolphins are believed to be a guide to the souls in the underworld; saver of the shipwrecked; the King of Fishes; sea-power; safety and swiftness.
