I was sitting here, thinking which picture I could use for this week’s challenge – until I remembered one of the first I took with my digital SLR camera.
This is the pattern on my bag which will hang at my belt, once I get my Sami kolt. For now, it adorns the wall in my livingroom, along with an assortment of pictures and items I have gathered thru the years.

Gilly Gee – A Sami kolt is the traditional dress for Sami people. They will tell what area you are from, if you’re married or not – in some cases even what family you belong to.
Karen – The designs come from traditional patterns but unfortunately, I can’t tell you what all of them symbolize. The four corners are symbols for the sun, but other than that I have to confess my ignorance.

It is a beautiful pattern… First I thought it was quilt.

Could you tell us the meaning of the symbols? A few of them look like snowflakes, but I am guessing that is too simplistic.

Gorgeous but what is a Kolt?

That’s beautiful.
