This is an extremely rare and labor intensive art form, practiced by only a few select artists, which utilizes the filtering plates of the bowhead whale. The plates are worked down to tiny rods and coils which are then soaked and woven. The finer the basket, the harder it is to prep and weave. Due to the extreme value of these baskets, feel free to call for more information on any of the baskets.
