The Dalahäst or Dala Horse is perhaps one of the most iconic symbols of Sweden. These hand-carved and painted wooden figures were historically a children’s toy but over time evolved into iconic folk-art from the Dalarna province. A symbol of welcome and friendship, Dala Horses have become collectible and come in a wide range of sizes and colors.
