Sami goden 1726

"Sami goden" (1726) by Bernard Picart depicts four scenes of Sami worship. Each scene shows different Sami deities, labeled in French. The engravings are detailed and capture the landscape of Lapland, as well as the rituals and ceremonies of the Sami people. Picart's work offers valuable insights into the history of the Sami, a group of indigenous peoples who inhabit the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
