Vie\u010d\u010da artihkkala d\u00e1s<\/a> (pdf)<\/p>\n In this article I discuss the use of the l\u00e1djogahpir<\/em> as being a part of women\u2019s body decoration in the beginning of the 19th Century. For women who work with duodji<\/em> (Sami applied art), clothing design has always been important and is an area where women can demonstrate their technical and aesthetic skills. It is possible to talk about at least two main shapes of l\u00e1djogahpir<\/em> and the question is if these shapes are related to two different periods, one being the early 19th Century and the other being the late 19th Century.<\/p>\n Available written sources are rather vague and as a result, I utilise a variety of different approaches to approach the issue, including an examination of museum artifacts from the begining of the 20th Century. In my article, I examine what the words l\u00e1djogahpir<\/em> and \u010doarvegahpir<\/em> mean and through this investigation, you can arrive at some explanations regarding the shape and decoration of the l\u00e1djogahpir.<\/em> I use some examples from the Norsk folkemuseum<\/em> collection to show the variety of headdress designs. Many 19th Century explorers remarked upon the headdresses and I discuss their observations. Finally, I refer to the artworks of several European artists from this time and I discuss their images, which may represent \u00abthe truth\u00bb or may represent the artist\u2019s interpretation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ebmos nissonolmmo\u0161 d\u00e1rbba\u0161a h\u00e1m\u00e1la\u0161 gahpira \u2013 l\u00e1djogahpiriid h\u00e1mit ja hearvvat 1800-logu \u00e1lggus.
