[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9714927, member: 301"]The 8 , a part number so that the matching wings can be fitted into the two side slots. The wood, what I can see of the grain, is offshore wood, likely Albesia . The paint is poorly applied. The designs represent NWC 1st Nations creatures and form lines , but are only similar and not true to form. The carving , while recognizable lacks the balance and symmetry of an authentic NWC totem pole. You have a reproduction of what an Indonesian Artist from Bali , thinks a model totem pole should look like .... missing it's wings. Carved with in the past 30 years.....or so. .
