- Lot Description
Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast, Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl), Haida, Tlingit, or Nootka, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A trio of hand-carved totem poles made by Native American artisans of Pacific Northwest tribes. The totems are each attached to a base and stand upright, the poles carved from single pieces, and the wings attached separately. The tallest has a thunderbird atop an orca whale and a bear forming the base, the underside is signed by Ray M. Sinks, an unknown artist. The other painted totem has a bear on top of a raven, and the last is unpainted but the most intricate of all three. A thunderbird rests on two crouching animals, and this totem is similar to - and possibly carved by - Ray Williams (Nootka First Nations artist) or another member of the Williams family. Size of tallest: 10.5" W x 15.5" H (26.7 cm x 39.4 cm); shortest: 1.8" W x 8.5" H (4.6 cm x 21.6 cm)
