I can read most of the words, but I have no idea what they mean by "mallior". It has something to do with the metal materials, but I'm not sure what.
It's describing how all the Lapps have/wear a "kraga" over (in front of) their breasts/chest, that they call "kracka" [krage] and similarly they have hoop/ring silver "mallior", some white, some gilt, with hanging "loef uthi" which are ornate. It then mentions that the poor who could not afford to buy the silver "mallior" would use instead either "teen" or brass "mallior".
I don't know what mallior is. Metal findings?, perhaps the materials used to make the jewelry and buttons?), alloy?? Or maybe it's a word specific to those hammered metal embellishments... They are not quite buttons, not quite buckles, not quite cabochon-shapes. Maybe "mallior" means hammered-metal-thingies (jewelry-like metal embellishments).
