The Dala Horse, or Dalahäst, is an example of traditional Swedish artwork. Dala horses were originally carved from wood, painted in bright colors, and given to children as gifts. After being displayed at 1939 New York World's Fair, Dala horses became a recognized symbol of Sweden, representing loyalty, strength, and traditional Swedish culture.

This ornament features a winter-themed Dala Horse, wood burned into a live edge Linden wood round. Hang it from your Christmas or Yule tree, with your ornament collection, or anywhere you want to incorporate natural elements with seasonal Swedish design.
