That museum looks very interesting.

is the flask hollowed out or 2 pieces of wood?

Its a single piece of wood, we thought that there must have been a hole where the antler was placed, but the sami lady at the duodji, said not when i emailed her.
If not, I dont know how he managed to carve it out.

Is it a straight hole, as if drilled or does the hole follow the contours of the flask?

It doesnt look drilled greger, it looks like someone has used something like a curved chisel. It a bit rough on the inside. If you rub your finger in it, little bits of wood come out. The hole follows the contour of the flask, looks handmade, without modern power tools.

Awesome pictures and artefacts!

Thanks for sharing Dave👍

I'm also intrigued on how the flask would have been made ...
How did they hollow that out 😵
The cork and top are exquisite too...

Beautiful craftsmanship 👍👍
