Three model totem poles


The tallest a flat-backed polychrome Northwest Coast example, depicting a series of surmounted totemic animal figures; another carving of thin plank form, two frogs and a mammal shown in shallow relief, "Kicksette Totem, The Thlinget People" written in pencil on the reverse; and a curious cylindrical pole of unknown provenience, perhaps also from the Northwest Coast region though exhibiting several atypical details.height 23 1/2, 15 3/4 and 17 1/4in
