Handcrafted Dalahast Horse Sculpture – Hand-Painted (Large)

A large Dalahast-style horse is a real home talisman, an expressive gift and the center of a festive composition.

The development of the collection became for us a kind of ethnographic study of Scandinavian and Ukrainian culture. The task of the workshop was to use traditional Scandinavian toys as a basis, but to make them using our own technology and give them a Ukrainian character. During the process of creating the collection, it turned out that the ornaments of the Scandinavian countries echo the Ukrainian ones, and the bright red color symbolizes vitality and love in both nations.

You can collect a set of grasshoppers or a whole collection of “Dalahast” souvenirs.

The toy is made in the author’s technique using a mixture of paper, sawdust, water, buckwheat husks and paste.

Each figurine is molded by hand, baked at high temperatures, sanded and painted by our craftsmen with acrylic paints by hand, modeled after vintage jewelry. Thanks to this processing, they are durable and resistant to mechanical damage. Small elements for each figurine, like a hundred years ago, we carefully mold from cotton wool and decorate them with fabric applications. Safe for children and animals, because they do not break. Environmentally friendly and durable.
