Sámi – by Patrik Hurtig

A beautiful large scale (90mm figure) set complete with reindeer.

Scene depicts a Sami male reindeer herder from Sweden.

The Sami are the indigenous people of Sweden, but are also present in Norway, Finland and Russia. They are known for their colorful blue tunics, beautiful handicraft and closeness to nature – especially the reindeer.

This sculpt is based on archive pictures from the 1920s and the man is wearing a shirt with the pattern from the area around Jamtland and is accompanied by a reindeer. In his hand he holds a bear spear, which is also used as a walking stick and for steering the small sleigh pulled by a single reindeer during winter.

  • Melnikov Ivan "Nakatan"

    awesome light placing!

    • Jakob V

      Thanks so much Ivan! To be honest, I stopped at about 90 percent, and went, wait a minute - light from sun would be super low at this place and this season. And I did it almost zenithal. But looks nice :) But super unrealistic!
