Book Synopsis Baleen Basketry of the North Alaskan Eskimo by : Molly Lee
Book excerpt: First made for the tourist trade in the early 20th century, baskets made of a fibrous substance called baleen--found in the mouths of plankton-eating whales--are now prized as Native art. Originally published in 1983, this was the first book on this unusual basket form. This completely redesigned edition remains the most informative work on baleen baskets, covering their history, characteristics, and construction, as well as profiling their makers. 48 illustrations.
