Haida-Style Totem Pole By Tsimshian Artist Moses Alexcee

About the Item

Moses Alexcee was a prolific Tsimshian maker from Prince Rupert who frequently carved for William Webber, the owner of the iconic Thunderbird Scenery Shop in Vancouver, BC. Alexcee often carved Tsimshian-style models of Haida totem poles. Note the watchmen on the top and interlocking figures – as well as the slight tapering to the pole. Moses Alexcee’s work can be found in a number of important collections, including the Museum of Anthropology at UBC and the Museum of Vancouver. This multi-figure pole is an excellent example of Alexcee’s work. 19" PERIOD: First quarter 20th Century ORIGIN: Prince Rupert SIZE: 19"H x 3" x 3" Family Owned & Operated Cisco’s Gallery deals in the rare, exceptional, and one-of-a-kind pieces that define the history of America and the Old West.
