This pole was likely carved by a non-Native artist in the 1930s. It is a wonderfully whimsical piece of folk art that features several imaginative figures painted in bright colors. The sculpture and painting on this piece is nicer than many other folk art poles from the same period and it is an excellent example of American folk art. Missing piece at top, otherwise excellent condition. 17"H
PERIOD: Early 20th Century
