ifindus:@saltlakris you know I had to do some history for your challenge! This piece is inspired by a famous illustration made in 1767 of a Sámi shaman /noaidi with a runebomme (drum) from my hometown/municipality. The use of these drums in relation to Sámi religion is documented in written sources as far back as the 1100s, probably going back even further. These drums are rare to find in Norwegian museum because of how christian missionaries went in to destroy them in their work to convert Sámi people. The drums were used find answer to questions and help in desion-making by how a metal ring or a bone figurine moved across the symbols when you hit the drum with a bone hammer.//omg, i might just cry! This is so beautifully made! It’s true that there are very few of these left, but some Saami are still making them today! Each goavddis is customized to their owner and their use, even though there are very few noaidis left. -- source link
