EDITORS COMMENTS
Amma Pirkit Larsson, a Sami from Tuorpon, captured in a poignant portrait by Lotten von Duben during the ethnological expedition to Lapland led by her husband Gustaf von Duben in 1868. The photograph, now held at the Nordiska Museet in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the traditional clothing and distinct facial features of the indigenous Sami people. Amma Pirkit Larsson wears a colorful, intricately patterned dress, adorned with geometric designs and fringes, paired with a red coat and a moustached man's hat. His hands are placed in his lap, and he looks directly at the camera with a steady gaze, his expression unreadable. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people, who have inhabited the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia for thousands of years. The photograph, taken during the 19th century, is a significant contribution to the field of anthropology and ethnography, providing valuable insights into the lives and customs of the Sami people during this time. The direct gaze of Amma Pirkit Larsson challenges the notion of the 'other' and invites the viewer to connect with the human spirit of this remarkable individual. The sepia tone adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a cherished piece of Nordic heritage art.
