Seita

Size: 30,3 x 22,6 cm

Materials: Watercolour on watercolour paper

I felt it was time for a Sami symbol too, and the sixty-ninth is the symbol called Seita. It represents the holy place in the settlement, the clan and family deities. According to a sami friend, nowadays seida or siida stands for families working together caring for their reindeer. The background was created using a wet on wet technique, and angling the paper to make the paint run downwards from the horizontal lines.
