Congrats to walkingjoey on First To
Find
Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs
It is believed that the hex sign evolved from an
earlier form of folk art, the Fraktur, a highly stylized document
predominantly taking the form of a personal family record, popular
among the Pennsylvania Dutch. Hex signs are highly stylized and
geometric. Although individual designers often take liberties with
it, there is a general pattern embracing a six-sided figure within
a circle.
Eight Pointed
Star
The eight pointed star if a fairly common hex
design. The star is usually blue and symbolizes goodwill. The
tulips represent faith and trust in man and the sheaves of wheat
symbolize abundance. This design was often used to decorate large
buildings and it proclaims abundance and goodwill for
all.
