Swedish Sitting Blue Dala Horse Unique Carved Wooden

In amazing condition! These rarely seen sitting dala horses, carved from wood, sat on my Mormor's shelf & were never played with. There is a brand tag, but I could not find it in the given list. I have separated out her blue & red sitting dala horses in case you do not want both, but they are different sizes & looked adorable together - see my listings if you want to bundle & save on shipping! A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse is a traditional carved, painted wooden statue of a horse in various sizes & bright colors originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna. In the old days, the Dalecarlian horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it's become a symbol of Sweden in general & a Swedish item for good luck. The playfulness of it sitting is whimsical & unique for any bookshelf, mantle or entryway table. Very popular around the holidays too. sizes in pics: Blue Dala Horse is roughly 17cm /6.75" (Red Dala horse, in another listing, is roughly 13cm / 5") smoke & pet free (both homes)
