19th C. Pacific Northwest Whale Bone Effigy Totem

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Native American, Western United States, likely Pacific Northwest Coast & Columbia River region tribes, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved whale bone effigy with a hide cord, possibly made of seal skin. The piece somewhat resembles a totem pole with a humanin head and torso upon another abstract animal opposite. The purpose and full symbolism of this piece is unknown, but there are finger sized notches along the sides- perhaps to form a grip. This may have been a special effigy to ensure a successful hunt or fishing. Size: 8.5" L x 2.25" W (21.6 cm x 5.7 cm)
