Yet another from the Museum of Anthropology in BC, this is a fragment of a Haida totem pole, c 1870. It originally formed the base of a memorial pole which was apparently raised in honor of a Gitxaala chief who had given away a great deal of property. I am very drawn to and fascinated by Native cultures and could have spent many more hours perusing the incredible works of art displayed here.
Wow!!! Your perspective, composition and editing all make for one striking image, looks professional I could easily imagine this in a art book or gallery - I too, am very interested in native culture and art. FAV
