It was not descended from ancient models of sleigh. It was used as a vehicle in the nineteenth century by the Saami. It had three pairs of upright stakes (<i>kaplas</i>) sunk into the runners. Unlike the more modern model, the bows of the runners curved up to the level of the platform. The side poles (<i>kausta</i>) which connected the uprights extended as far as the front of the runners. The uprights were joined crosswise by bent pieces of willow, on which debarked lengths of birch were laid as a platform. The sleigh was drawn by a reindeer either from a trace or between shafts attached to the front uprights. </p> <BR><BR> [[Table of contents: Means of livelyhood and transport|Table of contents: Means of livelyhood and transport]]<BR><BR> Otsikko 102
