The East Sweden Forging Lock: Östgötalåset

Holds the colours from the lakes, the sea and the ripe cornfields.

”Blue for the sea and the many beautiful lakes. Yellow for the flowering rapeseed fields. Silver for the important waterways Göta and Kinda Kanal, that connects the two. This made the wealth, wisdom and power flourish in the Eastern Gothia region and tribes were forged together over regional borders, creating the kingdom of Sweden. Like the lock holds the chain”

Selected to be Eastern Gothian Art Handicraft of the year 2006, by Östsam and Visit Östergötland.
Idea, design and craft by Veronica Gullbrandson
