Totem Pole carving.

Nineteen inch totem pole might be from Canada,Novascotia.I had no luck with the penciled signature.Its over 80 years old,and its starting to show its age.

This is unknown to me,and the wood.

 

How big is it?

 

20'' long i just measured it.

 

no pole I know of........

 

nothing I know of either

 

Agreed; to be more specific: this does not show the general stylistic details of native-made totem poles, and does not show the details that would indicate any particular native band or tribe. The totem-making peoples are all located on the Northwest coast of the US and Canada, and would not be in Nova Scotia.
It is possible this is a summer-camp project, or a Boy Scout merit badge project, and old examples of both are not unknown.

 

but u do find totem poles made in the east.....just not NWC style...and mostly as tourist items....

Like All Fakes says...this one is un-identifyable ....
