Round Pole fence #2

Then I painted my house I also painted the first 10 parts of my Swedish Gärsgård or in English Round Pole Fence.


Each part are 12cm




Some Allmoge troops taking cover beinh the fence


Close-up of the repainted Rebell/Swedish var flag with Saint George...I have removed the cross and painted the 3 Swedish crowns instead, as that symbole was used erlier than the yellow cross. The other banner was designed in the 1440´s by the Swedish King Karl VIII Knutsson from the House of Bonde, this banner would from this time on be the Swedish Royal Coat of Arms, only with a small shield in the middle showing the House of the regent.

This is a picture of the present Swedish Royal Coat of Arms:
