Description
This dear little Dala horse is hand-painted in cheery colours, and it would look adorable hanging in the kitchen all year round rather than only in December.
The Dala horse has been carved in the Dalarna region of Sweden for centuries, whittled originally by woodcutters through the long winter evenings, and it has become one of the most recognisable pieces of Scandinavian folk art there is. Ours is wood and 5cm, so it is small and light enough to hang from a cupboard handle, a shelf edge or a window catch as easily as from a branch. Being hand-painted, no two are quite identical. At under four pounds it is one of the easiest little gifts in the shop, and a lovely thing to tie onto a parcel.
Hand-painted wooden Dala horse hanging ornament. 5cm.
