| Description of Item |
This original design was painted with acrylics in the traditional decorative art style of Rosemaling. This is a traditional fold art of rural Norway that flourished in the 1700’s and 1800’s. Rosemaling can be found on walls, ceilings, and furniture throughout Norway in homes and churches. Rosemaling was also found on smaller wooden objects such as trunks, ale bowls, stools, chairs and jugs. Historians believe that the Crusader Cross represents Christ, and the classic shape represents a visualization of the gospel being spread to the four corners of the Earth. Becky Bordelon has been a teacher and folk artist for more than 30 years. |
