I decided to do the Dalicarlian horse because in Norwegian history, it started as a toy being carved by woodsmen whiling away the long Winter nights, and by soldiers in exchange for housing and hot soup. Now it is known worldwide as a traditional symbol of Norway. I just liked the story and the culture of carving that comes from Norway. And the Dala horse just happened to pop up when doing research for ideas for ornaments!
