The Tlingits were masters of twining and they wove some of the most beautiful baskets from the Northwest Coast. This set of baskets, clearly woven by the same weaver, are beautifully twined and they incorporate a complex design that was very difficult to weave. The quality of the weave in these baskets is superb and they have survived the years in excellent condition.
Woven out of spruce root
