The United States has a Swedish city called Mora, a place from Sweden because many Swedish settlers have been moving in since 1871, many of them from the Dalarna region. In order to commemorate the traditional hometown of wood carving, Mora in the United States set up a very large Dalamuma landmark, is one such reason. -------------------------------------------------- ----- The image of Dalal Trojan traces thousands of years ago as people found the shape of a mystical horse in caves and petroglyphs. The horses were symbols of strength and courage. They were brought to Sweden four thousand years ago to be tamed and reared. In the 17th century, a small wooden horse started to be sold on the market in central Dalarna, Sweden. A hundred years later, men working in the forest will also take advantage of the long winter carved wooden horse, back to the village for children to play. This is the origin of Dalarna Trojan. These original wooden carving horses were later painted in bright red or white colors, and were very popular with hand-painted patterns inspired by traditional patterns on furniture and walls in the area. Many poor families even use beautiful trojans to pay for their accommodation, and when they go home from school, they learn how to carve a wooden horse. Since 1928, many 13- to 15-year-olds have invested heavily in helping to create Painted Trojans, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Among them, Nusnas (Nils Olsson) has the longest history here and the Dalaman horses they produce have become Swedish orthodox symbol. Origin / manufacturing methods Sweden
