This episode is of a favorite subject. I have been asked to tell about the Skolt wife's headdress, also known as Saamšiǩ. So here you are as promised!
During the episode we will be visiting Heini and her mother in Sevettijärvi, and inspecting grandmother Naska's Saamšiǩ. Originally Naska wore Saamšiǩ all the up to the 1950's before transitioning to widow's headdress. Now the headdress is worn by Naska's grandchild and Heini's mother Leena. Heini is making Leena her own Saamšiǩ, but because it's not finished the old headdress has been put to use again.
We will be comparing Saamšiǩ's with two other Skolt wives, Eve and Sari. At a quick glance they all look the same, but there are differences in decorations as well as shapes. The important part of the headdress is its history, as in how they have ended up with their current owners. Putting the headdress on is its own thing as well.
Essential part of wearing a Saamšiǩ is the scarf, which is worn over the headdress. You might imagine that it is just tied over the headdress, but for example putting the fringed scarf on is not as simple as it may seem.
We will also look through lots of old Skolt pictures mainly taken in Petsamo during the episode. From them we can get a good grasp on what the headdress should look like, and how it is used. The picture links can be found underneath.
