Drinkbeker
A wedding is still a major event. Guests go yo church beautifully dressed and adorned with silver jewelry, two by two in pairs. The bridal procession is an old tradition, especially in Karasjok and Kautokeino. After the wedding ceremony follows a great feast. This cup is richly decorated with vertical and zigzag lines. Sequins are hanging from rings. Sequins - with or without a cross-presentation - are already used in Sámi art since the late Middle Ages in Scandinavia. Silverware and especially bridal silver are made by order by local - Norwegian, Swedish but now also Sámi- or silversmiths or jewelry designers. Previously they cut out an example in bone, today they make a drawing or sketch. On metal protective and healing properties are attributed. Thus silver coins were hung above a crib to protect the baby against evil spirits, like trolls and earthly beings.
