"The Story of the Dala Horse
Traditional Swedish crafts include linen wall hangings; embroidered cushions, clothing, and coverlets; fancy knitted mittens; carved wooden boxes and kitchen utensils with decorative painting; and carved stamps for cakes or cookies. The most pronounced living folk art tradition of Sweden is the pine-carved Delecarlian or Dala horse. In Swedish it is called Dalahíst from the province of Dalarna in central Sweden. Dala carving and "kurbits" painting skills have been passed down for hundreds of years. They are still made the same way today as they were in generations past, taking nine people to hand create each horse.
