North American Totemic Wood Sculpture with Polychrome Decoration
North American Totemic Wood Sculpture with Polychrome Decoration

North American Totemic Wood Sculpture with Polychrome Decoration

Located in Nottingham, GB

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...

Indian Chief Motif Porcelain Humidor, American, circa 1900

Indian Chief Motif Porcelain Humidor, American, circa 1900

Located in Incline Village, NV

Fine quality hand painted porcelain humidor is in excellent all original condition with no chips, repairs, or overpaint; nice bright crisp paint and detail. No mark, but definitely American, circa 1900 era. Note the detail to the Indian's face and his elaborate headdress. Native American Indians were especially attracted to tobacco and related products and relished the opportunity to pose for pictures on that topic; note cigar store "Indians", match safes, and humidors. This is a very desirable and item of tobacciana with the Indian subject matter and the attractive multicolored hand painted Indian chief with headdress, probably of note but I have not been able to accurately identify him; quite possibly "Big Bow" an Indian warrior who has been identified on other similar objects.

Ancient American "Human Effigy" Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi Culture 900 AD
Ancient American "Human Effigy" Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi Culture 900 AD

Ancient American "Human Effigy" Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi Culture 900 AD

Located in South Burlington, VT

Early American Pre-Historic Human Effigy Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi culture 900 AD All stone carvings from America's Prehistoric southwest are scarce. The majority of known carved stones come from the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. So examples of stone carvings from the Anasazi culture (circa 900–1300 AD) are rare especially human forms which are the rarest and some consider most desirable. This pallet is likely unique. The distinguishing characteristic of our paint pallet from the Anasazi culture is its creation from red sandstone- a material that was not used by the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. Dimensions: 9.25 inches tall, 4.87 inches wide Quality: it exhibits no less than seven distinct pigment colors on the surface. The obverse has a distinctive head with three dimensional eyes and nose; there are four horizontal bands of color: red, white, dark red/white and black. The center of the pallet has a distinctive white pigment and the border is executed in both red and black. There are two well-defined legs, one red and the other black, which terminate in distinctive feet. On the reverse we find in the center seven clearly defined concentric painted rings, each a different color. Provenance: old New England collection Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee. Our gallery has been dealing in authentic Native...

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880

Located in Incline Village, NV

Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high  x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image). Appropriate Americana for the discerning collector with a Western Native American...

Antique and Vintage Native American Objects

As part of thoughtful home decor, antique and vintage Native American objects — works created by Native American artists and artisans — can bring rich textures and colors into a space.

Art collecting can be done in a socially and environmentally conscious way that reinvests in local communities. Tribal art is traditionally crafted with earth-friendly materials that respect the environment.

Textiles have long been objects of art and utility for Native Americans. Traditional weaving techniques involve material made from plant and animal fibers. Different tribes have woven distinctive patterns and colors into blankets, rugs and garments, such as the vibrant geometric shapes woven from wool by the Navajo.

After metal and glass beads were introduced to North America by Europeans, they became a popular form of art. Intricate beading appears on clothing, jewelry and other objects. Beadwork not only looks stunning, but it is also deeply emblematic of Native American ethnicity and can be used to pass stories handed down from generation to generation. Beaded garments have often been commissioned for important events like weddings, dances and celebrations.

Native Americans initially created pottery out of necessity to carry water and store food. For centuries, artists have decorated jugs, vases and other vessels, from designs etched into clay to experimentation with firing methods for unique finishes.
