This model pole features a stylized thunderbird, shark, killer whale, wolf, and bear. The painting style identifies this pole as likely coming from the Squamish First Nation. The pole is signed “Sharky Jim” and there is a “Made in Canada” sticker on the bottom of the base. The name “Sharky” is probably a nickname, but the maker could most likely be tracked with a little research. 22 3/4"H x 12"W
