Baleen baskets are among the most difficult to weave because of the stiffness of the material. Alma Johnston, daughter of master weaver Don Johnston, has woven a tight basket with a beautiful whale fluke carved from walrus tusk. This basket has steps all along the side of the basket, from the very bottom of the base to the cover. This is a design created by Alma Johnston.
