Extraordinary Northwest Coast Cedar Hand Carved Native American TOTEM POLE

Description

Up for sale is an Extraordinary Northwest Coast Red Cedar with Abalone and Malachite accented Hand Carved TOTEM POLE.  It is signed by Native American Artist Radman and dated 1996 along with his tribal signature.  He also has titled the piece "Three Raven Pole" on the back.  This is one large and amazing piece standing at approximately 50" tall by 15" wide at the wing span, while being very heavy.   The detail work is incredible with three ravens, plus an additonal raven image in the head of the second raven along with frog and man imagery, it has accents of malachite and abalone along with gold gilt on the ball in the raven's mouth.
This totem pole is very classy and looks striking in any room.  I have never seen anything like this of such quality except in a museum as there is so much detail in the piece and expert craftsmanship that it is hard to describe so please review all photos carefully for best assessment.   It is in excellent condition for the level of detail aside from some dust throughout from storage and a small chip on the left wing as shown in the close up photo.  Other then that there is no visible defects.  I would say the totem pole is about 65 pounds and will be professionally packed and shipped insured from the FEDEX store for the winning buyer.   This is a extraordinary rare one of a kind piece that would look great in a museum or gallery.  Its one of my favorite items that I am parting with from the finest pieces in my over 35 years of collecting fine art and antiques and I am hoping to find a new owner that can appreciate and preserve it as I have.
Thank you for looking and please feel free to look at my other items for sale including many more premium antiques and fine art.
