Duodji - Sami Crafts

Bukowskis presents a collection of Doudji Sámi handicrafts, a centuries-old handicraft tradition with natural materials and quality as a base. This expressive and telling craft tradition has its origins in the objects of everyday use, which the Sámi wanted to make beautiful in addition to their functionality. The objects that have been created over the past centuries and that are still created today are characterized by traditional forms, local and personal, as well as the styles and features of famous masters and families. The masterful and detailed design of the guksi mugs, giisá chests, puukkos and knives can only be admired.

The auction consists of both signed and unsigned objects, made by both known and unknown artisans. Among the objects for sale you can find works made by the Sámi handicraft masters such as Tore Sunna, Olav Svonni, Sune Enoksson, Nikolaus Fankki, Esse Poggats och Per Olof Svonni and others. Welcome to take part in and bid on unique objects and cultural-historical treasures.

This theme auction includes twenty objects from the Lars Wetterling Collection. This is indicated in the provenance of the object.
