New! This is the long-awaited 4th in a Primstav series of high-quality Giclee prints in two sizes: Large 21" x 5" or Small 10 3/4" x 2.5". This print features some of the animal life important on a Norwegian farm before the days of numerical calendar. Information about the different symbols is on the back of the print. Signed and dated by Lucy Tokheim

The ancient Norwegian calendar stick was called a Primstav. It divided the year into winter and summer with lines for each day. The picture symbols vary, but reminded people of important dates: church holidays, or practical reminders on when to take sheep to the pastures or dig potatoes. This design series is inspired by some of these wonderful pictures of an earlier time.
