About This Design

Swedish Dala Horses w Heart Classic Round Sticker

Swedish Dala Horses w Heart Classic Round Sticker

Since Viking Times, the horse has been considered a holy animal. In many cultures throughout history, wooden horses have been carved as children's toys. In central Sweden, wood scraps from the local furniture-making trade, paint-pigment from nearby copper mines, and long winter evenings bred the development of the Dala Horse. Traditions vary in giving credit to woodsmen and to soldiers for originating the craft. Dala Horses from the Nusnäs-Mora area first appeared with their familiar bright decoration in the 1800's when the kurbit, or flower patterned saddle, was regularly added to them. This design comes from the Biblical story in which Jonah sat outside the city of Ninevah and the Lord caused a Kurbit, or gourd vine, to grow up beside him to protect him from the desert sun. The Dala Horse gained international popularity when it was chosen by the National Crafts Union for part of the Swedish display at the Paris Exposition in the mid-19th century. Skills for creating the Dala Horse have been passed from generation to generation and today it is one of the few living folk traditions of Sweden. Men of the village carve the horses at home, bringing them back to the main workshop to be painted by skilled artists there. Most Nusnäs-Mora Dala Horses are the traditional reddish colour, but the same workshops also produce blue, black and natural horses. Other towns in the region are known for different colours and styles of horses. (multiple products selected)

Great customer service. After a long delay, I contacted Zazzle and they immediately declared the stickers were lost by the post. Another printout was created and expressed post at no cost to me. They came within a week in time for our first harvest. The stickers are exactly as ordered. They fit perfectly on my small honey jars. My daughter, Philippa is over the moon to see her name on the honey jars.
