Northwest Coast/Nuu-chah-Nult Totem
Northwest Coast model totem pole, possibly Nuu-chah-nulth. An unusual, single-figure pole on a large, cylindrical base. The humanoid figure on this pole is varnished and sparingly painted with red, green, and black pigments.
Although this pole is carved and painted in a relatively minimalist style, the features of the human’s face, particularly the way that the forehead, nose, and mouth come together, connect it to the work of other mid-20th century Nuu-chah-nulth carvers such as Jimmy John.
There is a modernist flair to this that likely places its production in the 1960s. Smoked patina from the lodge. 6 1/2" overall 12" base 2 1/2"D
