Two-figure Ditidaht/Nuu-chah-nulth Totem
Nicely carved, two-figure Nuu-chah-nulth pole that features Raven wearing a woven hat over a human. 9"H
The imagery of Raven in the woven hat became a popular motif among Nuu-chah-nulth carvers in the 1920s and 1930s because of the popularity of the Tlingit Chief Shake’s Raven Pole with tourists. On Shake’s pole, the top figure is a raven wearing a woven hat. Nuu-chah-nulth and Ditidaht carvers working in curio shops made the image nearly ubiquitous in carvings from the period. Mounted on a round slice of alder wood.
