No. 6 [24. black and white, Mathis sucking marrow]

Mathis M. Somby uses the Sámi knife to reach the marrow of the reindeer bone. The marrow is extremely fatty, and a good snack when going without food for long periods of time. The animals are in charge during the spring migration. If they do not want to rest, the herders must follow. Food must wait.
