A 1678 Paris edition of Johannes Scheffer's Histoire de la Laponie, a French-language ethnographic account of the Sami people, their customs, religion and magic, printed by the widow Olivier de Varennes and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The plates show Sami figures in traditional dress, a reindeer-horn or antler-topped structure above a figure, and engraved drum-like divination objects with painted symbols and brass or bone fittings, which a designer might use for folk costume, pattern or symbol references.
