THE SYMBOLISM OF BONE
Bone is the backbone of the body, and therefore a fundamental element for top-level athletes.
It is the primordial element of being, symbolizing
firmness, strength and immortality.
The bone contains the marrow, the carrier of life, like the kernel the almond, so it's also a symbol of reconstruction.
