The Mora/Dala Horse's a Symbol of Sweden
Outside the Swedish pavilion at the Worlds Fair in New York in 1939 there was a three-meter Dala-horse. It represented the Swedish folk art. The leaders of the Swedish delegation were skeptical to the fact that modern Sweden should be represented by a "primitive handcraft. The colorful Dala-horse received much attention and was much appreciated. The toy horse most often carved by the man of the house for his children became well-known.
A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse (Swedish: Dalahst)[p] is a traditional carved, painted wooden horse statuette originating in Swedish province Dalarna. In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna, as well as Sweden in general.
