This 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...

Makah TOTEM by Young Doctor (1851-1934). Neah Bay, Washington. This monumental pole is a significant piece of Northwest Coast art and Seattle history that was previously owned by Joseph Edward “Daddy” Standley, the founder of the iconic Ye Olde Curiosity Shop in Seattle, Washington. The pole was displayed for years on the grounds of Standley’s “TOTEM Place” estate in West Seattle, across the bay from his iconic ethnographic art and curio shop on the Seattle Waterfront. So popular amongst tourists was the TOTEM Place estate grounds, that the Southwest Seattle Historical Society has stated that “for decades... it was a place where tour buses stopped, and flashbulbs popped. It probably was the most gawked-at, talked-about residence in West Seattle.” This pole was even featured in situ at Standley’s West Seattle home on a postcard that was sold to visitors through Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. While there are multitudes of model poles and other artifacts available to collectors that were sold as souvenirs from Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, objects that were actually owned by Standley are virtually unknown in the art market. The vast majority of objects that Standley esteemed and considered his private collection have remained with his family and descendants and are on permanent display in the store. Among the objects owned by Standley to make their way into the Smithsonian was a Spirit Canoe sculpture by Makah master carver Young Doctor (1851-1934), the likely carver of this pole. It would appear that Standley and Young Doctor had a good working relationship as a number of pieces, including this TOTEM, an elaborate transformation mask, the aforementioned Spirit Canoe model at NMAI, and a full model set of a Makah whaling crew and canoe were made for Standley by the artist. This large-scale TOTEM pole is an exceptional example of turn-of-the-20th-century Northwest Coast carving...

An evocative vintage original colored pencil and graphite drawing depicting a dramatic Native American horseback scene, presented in its original giltwood frame. The composition captures several mounted Indigenous figures riding spirited horses across an open landscape, with one central rider dramatically raising a rifle overhead while wearing a feathered headdress. Executed in graphite with selective colored pencil highlights, the artist creates remarkable movement and energy while allowing the warm toned paper to become an integral part of the composition. The drawing has a wonderful illustrative quality reminiscent of early twentieth-century Western book and magazine illustrations. While unsigned, the work demonstrates confident draftsmanship and thoughtful composition, making it an appealing decorative artwork for collectors of Western Americana and Native American-inspired art. Its neutral palette of warm tans, ivory, brown, black, and muted yellow allows it to blend beautifully into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Presented in a vintage giltwood frame with a decorative molded border. Minor age-appropriate wear to the frame consistent with age. Paper displays an attractive warm patina. Glass and frame are in good vintage condition. Historical Context Throughout the early and mid-20th century, artists remained captivated by imagery of the American West and Native American life. Publishers, illustrators, and independent artists frequently produced drawings celebrating equestrian culture, frontier history, and Indigenous traditions. Works like this bridged fine art and illustration, often emphasizing movement, storytelling, and heroic composition rather than strict documentary accuracy. Today, original vintage Western drawings have become increasingly desirable among designers furnishing ranch homes, mountain retreats, Santa Fe interiors, and Americana collections because they offer authentic age and character while layering beautifully with antique furniture and contemporary design. This drawing would look exceptional: Above an antique campaign chest Over a leather Chesterfield sofa In a Santa Fe adobe home Layered with Navajo textiles Beside antique Native American pottery...

The history of Skookum dolls starts with Mary McAboy filing two applications for patents for a doll or toy figure on November 29, 1913. After the popularity rose in 1920, They were factory-made dolls from the 1920s-1960s that resembled Native American people and were usually sold in tourist spots The word Skookum originated from the Chinook or Siwash traders of the American Northwest and has a few meanings. The main one attributed to the Skookum doll is Bully Good! In this rare set, there are 4 Native American depicted dolls, 3 skookum, and one male figurine with an unknown background.

Tsonoqua/Dzunukwa, “The Wild Woman of the Woods,” is an important ancestor figure to the Kwakwaka’wakw people of British Columbia. A giantess that fills important cultural roles during the potlatch, she is best known as a wealth-bringing being to those who encounter her and as a creature that parents tell their children stories about to make them behave and not venture far from the village – as she is also a cannibal and has been known to snatch stray children from the woods. She is the female counterpart of the male Bak’was, the Kwakwaka’wakw “Wild Man of the Woods.” Tsonoqua is analogous to the Coast Salish Sasq’ets, better known as Sasquatch, the Nuxalk Sniniq (female) and Buks (male), the Tsimshian Ba’oosh, the Haida Gagiit, the Athabaskan Hairy Man (or Woman), and the Tlingit Tl’anaxéedáakw. She is also what a lot of folks would call Bigfoot. This pole is carved in a Coast Salish style but shows several Kwakwaka’wakw influences, so is perhaps better termed a female Sasq’ets pole. This pole shares a lot of stylistic elements with work by the Coast Salish Horne family and was perhaps carved by one of them. The features of the face that identify this pole as a Wild Woman are the tightly squinted eyes, the prominent cheekbones, and the pursed red lips that depict her making her telltale whistling call. Large breasts are created by “split-u” formline elements on her chest, motifs which are repeated (unpainted) on her arms and legs. Her hands and appropriately large feet are rendered naturalistically, and she is depicted in a kneeling position. A very fine example of Northwest Coast carving. Period: Last quarter 20th century Origin: Salish Size: 49"H x 17'W.
