@troglodyt Maria Israelsson has been looking into the Offerholmen #Indigenous #Sámi sacrificial stones (sieidi) at #Skansen for some time. She kindly sent me some photos from the archives of the Nordic Museum. Here, the stones, along with reindeer horns, can be seen om the islet.

According to Israelsson, the sieidis appear to have gotten #repatriation before 1911.

At the #Skansen open-air museum, #Stockholm, there's an islet called Offerholmen - "The Sacrifical Islet" It's not marked on the maps and the odd name isn't explained.

Turns out that a century or so ago, one or more #Indigenous #Sámi sacrificial stones/statuettes (sieidi) were taken from #Sápmi and put on display here. Still trying to find more details about this story.

I guess Skansen isn't proud about it but still, they ought to at least put up a sign or something.
