A most interesting large old Northwest Coast Quinault Salish Indian carved and painted totem pole dating from the early 1900’s. The totem stands 35.5″ tall. The totem is attributed to Chief Yelton who carved the famous totem in Tacoma, WA. The carving features interesting and unusual imagery, including a standing shaman figure at the top, a spread wing eagle, a human with a large mouth and ribbed decoration, a whale, hunters in a canoe and a double headed eagle grasping a fish, along with other forms and decorations. The condition is excellent with normal natural wear, and no restoration. The size is compelling. The wood is probably alder. From a Washington State collection.
