Item Details

Description

POSSIBLY PAUL JONES (c. 1847-1927), SKIDEGATE, HAIDA GWAII
Model Totem Pole, c. 1890-1910
argillite, 9.5 x 2 x 2 in (24.1 x 5.1 x 5.1 cm)
unsigned.

Provenance
Private Collection, British Columbia;
First Arts, 12 July 2020, Lot 56;

Acquired from the above by the present Private Collection, Toronto.

Paul Jones hailed from Tanu Island on the east coast of Moresby Island. In their book Argillite: Art of the Haida, Drew and Wilson (p. 250) describe his style thus: "The crests have a slight up tilt, the human and animal cheeks are sunken, and mouths wide and often downturned." In this pole, composed of a beaver, raven, and eagle, the birds have distinctive feather patterns similar to a pole attributed to Jones (see Drew and Wilson, p. 252).

References: See Leslie Drew and Douglas Wilson, Argillite: Art of the Haida, (North Vancouver: Hancock House, 1980), p. 250-252. See also Marius Barbeau, Haida Carvers in Argillite, (Ottawa: National Museum of Canada, 1957/1974), p. 110-117, where Barbeau discusses the artist and his work for some length
