Makah Two Figure Totem from the Ye Olde Curiosity Shops c. 1905. 19"H
This larger model pole features an Eagle over a Frog. It is very well carved and painted in reddish brown, red, green, yellow, black, and white. This maker was highly consistent and produced carvings early in the 20th century for the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop and the Hudson Bay Fur Trading Co, both on the Seattle waterfront.
This maker has in the past been identified as the Makah artist Young Doctor, and while he was likely Makah and their styles are related, this artist’s work was more refined from a design perspective and featured more robust carving than Young Doctor. This pole is precisely rendered and is an excellent example of this maker’s work.
The red sticker and informational paper from Ye Olde Curiosity Shop (YOCS) identifies this pole as being among the earliest pieces sold by YOCS after opening in 1899. Northwest totem with original “Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe” sticker and “History of Indian Totem Poles.” 19"H
