Pot-holders were used by the fireplaces. The Lapps usually just take a pole, stick it diagonally into the ground and either hang a kettle or spit a fish on it. But here they have a quite different arrangement. There is a vertical, square-sectioned pole that can work as a pivot, and fixed to it with a peg is a transverse spar that can be raised and lowered. The latter has teeth cut in it so that the pot can be hung farther in or out.
