Dutch Hex Signs
For hundreds of years, Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs have been hung on barns; a classic tradition supposedly passed on by Pennsylvania German settlers. As a traditional form of American folk art and a historical indicator of the Pennsylvania Dutch, these symbols are intricately designed on sturdy masonite material with unique silk screened designs. Each colorful and artfully decorated hex sign is not only said to bring "good luck and fortune" but is also known to have a little magic weaved in amongst its history. Today, you can still find hex signs gracing the sides of barns, sheds and houses, each representing a different meaning. For example, hex signs that are shaped like an 8 pointed star symbolize goodwill and abundance whereas a Maple leaf shaped Dutch hex sign is said to represent the diversity and beauty of life on earth.
