BALEEN Fronds from BOWHEAD WHALE

From BARROW, ALASKA unless otherwise marked

What is baleen?  Fronds of baleen hang down inside the whale's mouth, the hairs on it catch plankton that it eats.  Baleen is made of keratin (the same material as our fingernails but much thicker).  It can be cut, polished and etched by Native Eskimo people into beautiful art work
