Dimensions
A large, well-carved model pole that features a thunderbird over a bear that is holding a copper and human. The base is carved and painted with a humanoid face. This pole probably dates to the 1960s and was likely carved by a Coast Salish (Cowichan) artist for Ye Olde Curiosity Shop (YOCS). The green, white, and red paint over a dark wood stain were a trademark of YOCS poles in the mid-twentieth century, although this pole is nicer than most for having the designs both incised and painted.
