Totem poles are among the most recognisable artistic expressions of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, including communities across present-day Alaska and British Columbia. Traditionally carved from monumental cedar trunks, these sculptural forms served as visual records of lineage, status, mythology, and clan identity. The figures depicted—often animals, supernatural beings, and ancestral spirits—were arranged in carefully structured sequences, each contributing to narratives that communicated family histories, cultural values, and sacred traditions. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, smaller-scale carvings inspired by these monumental poles began to circulate beyond their original contexts, finding appreciation among travellers and collectors drawn to the distinctive visual language of Northwest Coast art. Today, they remain powerful reminders of the storytelling traditions and artistic ingenuity of the region. This carved and painted wooden totem pole presents a lively vertical composition inspired by the narrative traditions of Alaskan Indigenous carving. Rich in character and decorative appeal, the sculpture combines a succession of stylised figures, each distinguished by expressive carving and bold polychrome ornament. The uppermost section is dominated by the head of a bird, with a pronounced beak, wide circular eyes, and striking red and black painted details that immediately command attention. Beneath it appears a stylised fish rendered horizontally across the composition, its curved form creating a visual transition between the figures above and below. Further down, a smiling mask-like face emerges from the structure, its animated expression lending warmth and individuality to the carving. Supporting the composition is a fourth figure with outstretched wing- or fin-like elements, highlighted with accents of blue, black, and white that contribute to the rhythm and balance of the overall design. The figures are arranged in the traditional stacked manner associated with totemic imagery, with incised detailing used to define facial features, plumage, scales, and other distinguishing characteristics. The painted decoration remains vibrant, softened only slightly through time, and continues to enhance the sculptural quality of the work. Of particular interest are the handwritten inscriptions on the reverse, reading "North American Indian Totem Pole...

A fantastic and somewhat playful mask by the Yup'ik (Yupik) aboriginal, indigenous people of South-Western & South Central Alaska. The Yup'ik people, who are related to the Inuit peoples, have a long history of ceremonial mask making. Yup'ik masks were originally and specifically designed by Shamans and made to be worn by these spiritual leaders in Winter tribal dances and sacred ceremonies. Traditionally, the masks were destroyed or discarded after use in these ceremonies. Very few of these masks survived. After Christian contact in the late 19th century, masked dancing was suppressed and the tradition all but died out. As more outsiders settled in Alaska at the turn of the century, masks were made by the Yup'ik people to sell or trade for necessary goods. It is likely that this mask was created some years later for this purpose. In the 20th century, Yup'ik mask had a profound influence on many renowned surrealist artists including, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Leonora Carrington, Victor Brauner, and most notably Andre Breton who was an avid collector of Yup'ik masks. This fantastic anthropomorphic mask is carved of lighter wood, hand painted and decorated with pigment, and held together with natural fiber. The mask seems to represent some sort of smiling, benevolent spirit or character with its four eyes, bird beak, and cat-like ears. The mask is from a French collection. We were told that this mask, as well as others in the collection we have listed, was acquired originally in the 1950s-1960s in Alaska and the Yukon territory in Canada but as we have no way to verify or authenticate this. Please note we are listing the masks as decorative and not as actual tribal artifacts...
