Indigenous art. 26" long, hand carved cedar panel. Authentic Northwest Coast Native design by Jay Coutts (Carrier).
This hand-carved totem pole panel is a captivating representation of Northwest Coast Native culture, showcasing two powerful symbols: the Eagle and the Bear. The Eagle, a revered symbol of spirituality and connection to the heavens, is adorned with intricately carved ovoids and trigons, its shoulder bearing the image of a salmon head, a testament to its sacred status in Native American ceremonies. The Bear, a powerful representation of the link between humans and the natural world, is depicted with raven hands and feet, reflecting the interconnectedness of the forest. The Bear's body, like the Eagle's, is adorned with ovoids and trigons, creating a visual rhythm and depth. This totem pole panel is a testament to the rich symbolism and artistic traditions of the Northwest Coast Native people.
