The Mountains [2], 16/07/1732, ¶722:

Hemispherical bowls with handles, often with a capacity of 2 to 2 1/2 gallons and mostly so well made of curly-grained birch that one would swear that they had been turned on a lathe. They serve whatever is to be eaten in these instead of using plates; they use oblong wooden boards when they eat meat but that, too, is kept in round wooden bowls before it is divided up. Plaited cheese-baskets, always circular. Also, an elongated cask for jumo-milk. Shaggy reindeer skins, hairy side upwards, are spread out to left and right in the Lapp tents and people sit and lie on them. It is impossible to stand upright. In the middle is the hearth, or a few stones around the ashes. The firewood lies behind the fire but there are also twigs and brushwood in front of it where the household utensils also lie. Under the roof-poles and above the skins on both sides there hang 2 racks, on the front of which there is cheese drying and on the ends reindeer stomachs filled with milk for the coming winter.
