[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 12721399, member: 301"][IMG]https://cdn.textstudio.com/output/preset/preview/medium/0/0/6/9/96_c9643.png[/IMG] .. [USER=55]@all_fakes[/USER] ... That's a tough one to read unless you've seen many of his totems. The way I see it... Eagle on top Killer Whale .... or Sea Wolf , w/ human face in the curled back tail. ( the wolf and orca were known in legend to transform into one another , and the flippers on the sides , not being feet or paws , seem to suggest this here.) The divot on the head would suggest an Orcas blow hole. Sea Bear. As above , the curled back tail and side flippers , suggest a marine mammal. All sitting on the Box of Daylight , that's sitting on a Frog. The Frog is widely used as the bottom creature , for its stability, and duality as an animal who lives on land , and in the water. ! Ever seen a frog , trip ?? ;)..:playful::playful: That's a lot of work for a 12 inch pole , in mint condition , from a well respected master artist !! Great find !!!!!!!!:woot: ( I'd have snapped that up so fast, the Flash would not have seen me do it !!:playful:)[/QUOTE]
