Native Nootka Totem by Rick Williams, 2 Foot
About the Item
Rick Williams (Nootka / Nuu-chah-nulth, b. 1955). 2 Foot Red Cedar Seattle Pole" painted wood sculpture hand carved by Rick Williams and signed with title on verso of pole. A wonderfully detailed cedar wood totem pole titled "2' Red Cedar Seattle Pole" hand-carved by Nootka artist Rick Williams. Painted in vibrant pigments of red, blue, green, black, and white, the elaborate sculpture features traditional imagery of stacked zoomorphs, displaying, from top to bottom, a thunderbird, a beaver holding a fish, a frog, a wolf, a raven, a killer whale, and an eagle.
Born in Seattle in 1955, Rick Williams is a seventh generation Nitinaht carver of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations of Vancouver Island, Canada. His father Ray Williams served as both his teacher and mentor. Ray taught his skills and knowledge to his oldest son Rick and his brothers and sisters as well as a few other local carvers lucky enough to get an apprenticeship. Ray Williams passed away in 1988. In early 2012, Rick and his son Eagleson carved a 34-foot totem pole in honor of his brother John T. Williams. John was shot dead in the streets of Seattle.
The pole was raised in Seattle Center on February 26 of the same year. Rick still carves today. His positive Attitude and wisdom make him a pleasure to be around. Each piece of his art is amazingly detailed and masterfully carved. He has memorized and mastered the 250 traditional designs and has developed his own detail and style. Rick is one of the best and most accomplished carvers in Seattle and possibly the entire indigenous world. The large Williams family of artists has been carving for many generations. The result of this long family tradition is a style that is not only traditional and technically skillful, but also aesthetically pleasing.

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).
