Description
In the 1980's, my dad, Otto Werner (1923 - 1991) was commissioned to design and paint a series of 24 panels to be mounted as part of the Waterloo Heritage TIME TELLER GAZEBO that illustrated some of the Pennsylvania Dutch Hex designs featured on many of the old Mennonite barns in the region. Each of these unique hex designs was incorporated into the gazebo design directly under the eaves. This double Distelfink hex is a symbol love and devotion. The two hearts and Distelfinks (birds) represent love, happiness and marriage. Tulips are a symbol of faith and hope. The closed scalloped border symbolizes everlasting delight. This is one of the 24 hex designs of the TIME TELLER GAZEBO is now being offered as reproduction canvas and art prints - an excellent addition to your country or contemporary kitchen decor!
