Traditional Northwest Coast Totem Poles and Longhouse Illustration #3429504 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration features three elaborately carved totem poles-each representing clan crests, ancestral spirits, and mythic narratives-standing before a plank-built longhouse decorated with ovoids, formlines, and animal motifs. The central pole rises tallest, crowned by a raven or thunderbird figure, while side poles include an eagle and a bear-human hybrid. Fine linework captures the texture of cedar wood and the symbolic depth of Pacific Northwest Indigenous artistry.
