c̓uáx̌si (Totem Pole) Play

Barbeau note: "Totem pole from Bella Bella, owned, I believe originally by Humshet, permanent Chief, obtained from Dr. Large in 1912 at Port Simpson." (From C.M. Barbeau photo notes, in the Archives at the Canadian Museum of History near Ottawa.)

Small carved wooden pole depicting figures from top to bottom: hawk, human, eagle, whale, wolf and killer whale. Painted black, green and red with Northwest Coast designs. Underside is slightly rounded.
