Early 1940s Baleen Basket with Seal Finial























An early WWII-era 1940s baleen basket purchased at estate. The man this piece was purchased from said his father was stationed in Point Barrow, Alaska during the war. This is one of the mementos he came home with. The tightly woven basket is about 3.5-inches wide by 3-inches tall with a carved seal finial handle and base.
