? VINTAGE MID-CENTURY PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST FIRST NATIONS HAND-CARVED TOTEM??? Up for sale is an exceptional, beautifully preserved vintage Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations model totem pole. Standing at an impressive 12.8 inches tall, this authentic piece is hand-carved from a single solid block of native Western Red Cedar (or Alder wood) and affixed securely to its original circular wooden display base via a central iron anchor nail. This premium totem features an intricate, deeply undercut vertical sequence of 7 classic stylized figures. The carving execution is superb, featuring traditional bold formline painted accents in historical black, deep red, and cream tones that highlight the expressive eyes and facial structures of the crest figures. ? MASTERFUL 7-FIGURE SEQUENCE (TOP TO BOTTOM). Eagle / Thunderbird (Crowing Crown Head). Human Ancestor / Chief Figure. Deeply Undercut Crouching Frog (Stunning open center cut). Killer Whale / Orca (Base Anchor wrapping forward). ? SCULPTURE DETAILS & EXACT DIMENSIONS. Culture/Style: Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations (Kwakiutl style). Material: Solid Western Red Cedar / Alder Wood & Historic Paint Pigments. Status: Unsigned (Authentic mid-century tribal tourist trade piece). Height: 12.8 Inches Appx. Base Width: 2.5 Inches. Back Profile: Traditional flat, unpainted reverse side showing beautiful raw wood grain and the historical central assembly nail (see photos). ? DETAILED VINTAGE CONDITION DISCLOSURE & REPORT. Structural Integrity: Excellent vintage condition. The totem stands completely straight, level, and sturdy on its wooden base. No structural splits, cracks, or missing wooden elements. Cosmetic Details: The hand-applied paint remains remarkably bright and stable throughout, with only minor, expected vintage rubbing on high-point edges (such as nose and beak tips) consistent with gentle age. Reverse Surface: Features an old, superficial dark rectangular smudge/stain on the upper back portion from a historical sticker/label removal decades ago (clearly documented in the photos).
