Vintage Hand Carved & Painted Wood Totem Pole - Canada First Nations - 20th Century

Vintage hand-carved and painted softwood totem pole - Canada First Nations - from the middle of the 20th century. The upright column is carved from one solid piece of wood - probably pine. The base and wings are separate pieces - simply attached with one nail each. The entire totem pole is painted a gloss chocolate brown - with highlights and details in lemon yellow, white, red and black. There are further chip carved details into the face of the column - done after the painting. The over-all condition of this pre-owned vintage item is excellent - the wings and the base are loose but still firmly attached - some crazing of the paint finish that comes with age - minor surface scratches and loss of paint that comes with age - unfinished top (as photographed) - no loss to the wood itself. Size - 14 1/2"H x 7"W x 2"D (at base).
