ARTHUR MOODY (1887-1967) SKIDEGATE, B.C., Model Totem Pole, mid-late 1940s

Item Details

Description

ARTHUR MOODY (1887-1967) SKIDEGATE, B.C.
Model Totem Pole, mid-late 1940s
argillite, 9 x 2.5 x 2.5 in (22.9 x 6.3 x 6.3 cm)
signed and inscribed, "CARVED BY ARTHUR MOODY / SKIDEGATE MISSION B.C."

Provenance
Private Collection, Calgary, AB.

This multifigure model pole features an eagle, raven, frog, and bear with salmon. Along with his father and son, Arthur Moody was a member of the Moody family of multigenerational argillite carvers who “have probably contributed a greater volume of argillite than any three generations in a single family” (Drew and Wilson 1980, 254). Arthur Moody’s work can be found in a number of major museum collections, including the Museum of Anthropology at UBC and the Museum of Vancouver.

Drew, Leslie and Douglas Wilson. 1980. Argillite, Art of the Haida. North Vancouver, B.C: Hancock House.
