This brightly painted, five-figured model totem pole features a thunderbird, inverted killer whale, human figure holding a wolf head, and bird (raptor) at the base. Based on its style, this model would have been carved by a Coast Salish artist, perhaps from around White Rock, BC, in the 1930s. The vibrant paint job really makes this carving pop and is in excellent condition given its age. Signed on bottom "Jamie Dickson." 15 1/2"H x 5"W
