Buns Conch Embroidered Lapland Laplanders Lapps Leggings Sami Sc Andinavian Scandinavia Shell Sound Tunic
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Northern Scandinavia in the early 1900s, as embodied by the enchanting figure of a young Sami girl. Dressed in her traditional attire, she sits on the lapland terrain, her embroidered tunic adorned with intricate geometric patterns, and her fur-trimmed leggings keeping her warm against the chill. In her hands, she holds a large conch shell to her ear, listening intently to the soothing sound of the sea. The Sami People, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, are an indigenous Finno-Ugric ethnic group inhabiting the Arctic regions of Northern Europe. Their rich cultural heritage is deeply rooted in the natural world, with a strong connection to the land, water, and animals. This image offers a glimpse into their ancient traditions, as the girl's long, braided buns are a distinctive feature of Sami women's hairstyles. The rugged, untouched landscape surrounding her adds to the sense of isolation and tranquility, with the vast expanse of the sea stretching out beyond the horizon. The conch shell, a symbol of the connection between the Sami people and the natural world, amplifies the calming melody of the waves, creating a moment of peace and harmony. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and beauty of the Sami People and their deep-rooted connection to the land and the sea.
