Description
Summary:Top section on a weathered totem pole. The middle figure is human-like with a ring around it's head. The base figure has a bird's body and a large human face with a labrette in the bottom lip. The reaminder of the pole is blank with a seated or crouching figure wearing a top hat at the top. The figure on top appears to have hollow eyes carved through to the back of the pole. It is not the same pole as the Proud Raven (Lincoln) Pole.
