Lapskategooriaid is a term that refers to a collection of traditional Sami handicrafts. These items are typically made from reindeer antler, bone, wood, or leather. They often feature intricate carvings and decorative elements that are symbolic of Sami culture and their connection to nature. Common examples of lapskategooriaid include small boxes, drinking cups, spoons, knives, and decorative figures. The craftsmanship involved is highly skilled, with techniques passed down through generations. These objects were not just utilitarian but also served as expressions of artistic and spiritual beliefs.
