TOTEM POLE by the Kwakiulth First Nation Artist Jimmy Joseph

Excellent carving, so very detailed, vibrant and clean painting, showing the EAGLE above the CHIEF holding/breaking the COPPER over the RAVEN.

This is a fabulous example of talented workmanship. Truly very decorative and "alive", it makes every room. the wings are slightly loose, but the expression in each character are really superb.  

Measurements: 31", 15" wingspan, 4" x 1 1/2" pole (79 cm tall, 38 cm wingspan, 10 x 4 cm pole)
