About This Item

Big Dalahorse outside the factory in Nusnäs

Myntet är fäst vid en Dalahäst i plast

Dalahästarna gjordes (och görs) i trä, detta är bara en replik. Man kan spåra början för det här hantverket till skogskojorna redan på 1700-talet. Där satt karlarna kring elden under vinterkvällarna, och vilade efter en dag med huggning och timmerkörning. De hade lagat mat, och sett över verktygen och kopplade av med att tälja en figur av något slag. För det mesta snidade man en häst. Hästen var någonting värdefullt, som starkt bidrog till familjens försörjning. Man tog sedan trähästen med hem till barnen som leksak. Under 1800-talet blev det vanligt att hästen målades och fina krusiga mönster. Hästarna kom från morabyarna Vattnäs, Risa, Bergkarlås och Nusnäs.

The coin is attached to a Dalahorse in plastic.

The Dala horses were originally made from wood (and still are). This is only a replica. It was quite natural that it become a horse. You can trace the origin of this craft back to the lumberjack’s log-cabins as early as the 18th century. There they sat round the open fires during winter, resting after the tree felling and transporting of logs. They relaxed by carving figures of pieces of wood. The popular choice was a horse, and these were taken home to the children as a treasured toy. During the 19th century it become custom to paint the wooden horses with flowers and patterns like those in the Dala paintings that decorated furniture and interior walls. Wooden horses came originally from the Moravillages of Vattnäs, Risa, Bergkarlås and Nusnäs.
