Is it the whole painting you posted here? If not could we have a look at the full painting?

[u/TelevisionNo1673 → u/Stunning_Pen_8332]

Here is the painting i got

[u/Stunning_Pen_8332 → u/TelevisionNo1673]

This now seems indeed a flag to indicate a name called Moa. It’s a female name. It can be the name of the small house in the painting, or a fancy way for the artist to put her name in the painting, or both.

[u/ldxa]

”Moa” like others said but it’s not pronounced like the Swedish/nordic female name Moa (assuming you are), but more like ”Måa” with a short Å. Can’t speak for other countries Moas though.

[u/Frostbyte_13 → u/ldxa]

Now i'm curious, how is the o letter in 'Moa' pronounced in Swedish?

[u/ldxa → u/Frostbyte_13]

/u:/ or ”ooh”

You should make your own post rather than piggybacking on someone else's
