Traditional Saami handicraft
Duodji is a traditional Sami handicraft , dating back to a time when the Sami were far more isolated from the outside world than they are today.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Duodji tools, clothing, and accessories are intended to primarily be functional,[ 4] [ 5] but may also incorporate artistic elements.[ 6] Some examples include knives , cases, ladies' bags , wooden cups , and articles of clothing .[ 7] [ 8] Duodji items were made to be used in an everyday work environment.[ 9] [ 10]
