Saami (Lapps) men’s everyday сostume

Finnmark (Norwegian Lapland), the Porsangerfjorden (the Southern Part) Early 20th century

The difference between the costume and its figurine depiction:
Olmay-kafts, woolen shoulderwear worn over other shoulderwear items both in summer and in winter, formed the basis of a men's everyday costume. The sculpture depicts a fur coat, which does not correlate with the summer leather footwear. The Saami wore the massive sheath with a hunting knife on leather belts only, while the figurine features a woven belt. The accessory seen on the neck of the porcelain figurine could not be part of the men’s clothing as it is a women’s handbag used for storing sewing necessities.
