Rock carvings

The rock carvings on the apron are part of our Norwegian prehistoric rock art. The drawings were carved into the rock using simple stone tools probably 4500 years ago. They may have been created as a magic charm for a successful hunt and they probably played an important role - as a meeting place - in the social life of these hunting people.

The housewife’s key

The key fob is based on the key ring which the housewife would have carried in the old days. Bearing the keys indicated responsibility and status on the farm.
