Northwest Coast Totem Pole Carving - Traditional Indigenous Artwork #3429506 (License: Personal Use)

This sepia-toned image depicts a vertically oriented totem pole carved in the distinctive formline style of Northwest Coast Indigenous cultures. The pole features stacked anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures-including an eagle at the top, a human-like being mid-section, and a bear or wolf at the base-each rendered with ovoids, U-forms, and split U-elements characteristic of the tradition. The carving conveys lineage, clan identity, and oral history through its symbolic iconography.
