Stekkjarstaur - Sheep-Cote Cold. Comes down from the mountains on the 12th of December each year the first of the thirteen brothers to do so according to the folk tales collected by Jón Árnadon 1862. He sneaks into sheep scores to suckle the ewes although his efforts are sometimes impaired by his peg legs which make it difficult for him to bend down. Sheep Cote Cold is envisaged here by designer Dögg Gudmundsdottir and writer Dagur Hjartason -
