TOTEM Black, Thunderbird design : height 2 1/4 inches Canadian made

The Northwest Coast Natives have a perception of oneness of all earth's creatures, human and animal. They believe that humans may transform into animals, birds, fish and mythical creatures and back again. Once transformed they take on the essence and spirit of that being, Their art reflects this transformation. Made of black crushed marble, this pole is carved in the traditional style. This tiny pole features Thunderbird with outstretched wings and Bear mother.
