The petroglyphs at Nämforsen (Sweden), that inspired these mug designs, are believed to be as old as 6500 years.
The site is one of the largest collections of rock-carvings in Europe with about 2600 different figures and lines in total. They have been chipped into the rocks at the islands of Notön, Brådön, Laxön and their adjacent shores close to the rapids.
Many of the carvings depict moose and none of them have antlers. Either they are female moose or it could be because the people who made the carvings would usually witness all the moose migrating north during spring for new grazing pastures, where the moose have taken the same paths for thousands of years. In spring the male moose have not yet grown new antlers which they shed every autumn/winter.
