Based
on the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs. These colorful decorations
have a wonderful history and are filled with symbolism.
The
single rosette is the most basic motif of hex signs and
appears in many ancient designs in western culture. Its
traditional meaning is of good luck, here reinforced by
the scalloped border to symbolize smooth sailing through
life. The stylized wheat stands for abundance and goodwill.
The
green ring is for growth and success, the red color for
strength, blue for calmness, white for purity and yellow
for health in body and mind.
