The story behind the motif
Poster with a beautiful photograph taken during the 1930s. The old photo is of a woman playing the snare drum. The woman is standing on a mountain with a fantastic surrounding of forest and water, down by the water you can even glimpse a village.
The fistful is a traditional Nordic instrument made of fir wood dressed with fists. The instrument is associated with the old shack culture, where it was used to scare off predators, attract animals, keep evil forest creatures away and to send messages over long distances.
There are different melodies for different messages: there is food for takeout, someone is sick, bear is here, a cow has gone missing (then you should help), the cow has been found, everything is fine and more. Each hill could also play so that you knew who it was. From a shack that was far away, the message could be picked up by the next one and sent right down to the village miles away, and answered in the same way.
Photographer: Unknown | Created: about 1930 .
Frame not included.
