Native American, First Nations / Canadian, British Columbia, Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl), ca. 20th century CE. Signed "W.S." on verso, with "B.C." and "Bear / Frog / Wolf / Raven." A fascinating wooden totem pole hand-carved with the stylized forms of a bear, a frog, a wolf head, and then the projecting neck and head of a raven at the bottom.

Provenance: private Alamo, California, USA collection, before 2000
