Summary: | The frontal pole of Property House as it stood after the house frame had fallen. The crests on the frontal pole are three watchmen, an eagle, a story figure of Tsimshian sea-chief/sea anemone, and a killer whale whose head, arms, legs, and pectoral fins are at the base. The body of the killer whale extends above and it has a woman in its mouth that is clutching its tail. This pole was collected by Newcombe for the Smithsonian Institution. The House That Makes a Noise is on the right in the background. |
