Product Details

The Yellow Swedish Dala Horse in the Swedish Flag Series combines classic Dalarna carving with kurbits painting traditions.

Cultural Note

The Dala horse or Dalahäst originates in Dalarna and is a long-standing symbol of Swedish folk art. The kurbits painting style, known for stylized floral motifs, became a regional decorative tradition in the 18th and 19th centuries. This handcrafted piece follows those regional carving and painting techniques and uses the yellow-and-blue palette as an homage to Sweden’s national colors and decorative heritage.
