Pair of Nuu-chah-nulth Model Totems
About the Item
This pair of colorful larger Nuu-chah-nulth model totem poles were likely made for a curio shop in Seattle or Victoria sometime around 1915. The poles still have their original paint and have fantastic patina. The pole on the left features an eagle and a pair of frogs (especially nice, see detail photo) facing each other over a humanoid head. The pole on the right features a raven, a humanoid figure, and some sort of bird near the base. These charming poles have been together for over a century, so they are being offered here as a set. An excellent pair of early, museum-quality Nuu-chah-nulth model poles that would elevate any collection. Priced as a pair.
Period: Circa 1915

- Multi-Figure 7 Foot Nuu-chah-nulth TOTEMBy Native American ArtLocated in Coeur d'Alene, IDThis large pole was “donated to a church on the northern tip of Vancouver Island for a fundraiser” sometime around 1905. The pole is carved in a folk-art style that is correct for the period. The imagery on this pole is quite fascinating and includes a large bird whose wings form the face of a composite creature holding what appears to be a whale or fish. Below that is what appears to be a Sisiutl, or three-headed sea serpent. Under the Sisiutl is a pair of animal heads flanking the pole, perhaps wolves, over a colonial bald eagle. This pole is a large and early Nuu-chah-nulth totem carving...Category

- Ditidaht/Nuu-Chah-Nulth Totem By Raymond WilliamsLocated in Coeur d'Alene, IDChief Shakes Raven pole by Ditidaht/Nuu-chah-nulth artist Raymond Williams. This finely crafted model totem pole is by Ditidaht/Nuu-chah-nulth master carver Raymond Williams, the father of the current generation of Williams carvers. It depicts an iteration of the Tlingit Chief Shakes pole of Wrangell, Alaska – a popular motif for the Williams family. The top figure is Raven’s Grandfather, who perched on the Box of Daylight. The middle figure is Raven, and below is frog. This model illustrates how Raven stole the sun, moon, and stars and released them into the world.
