Object description

Argillitskulptur, haida. Denna skulptur föreställer en miniatyrtotempåle. Detta är ett av de vanligaste Argillitföremålen. Ofta var de kopior av befintliga totempålar men också ofta bara en samling av familje"crests", eller släktssymboler. Ibland är de liksom en vanlig totempåle beskrivningar av en händelse i en persons eller släkts liv eller bara en ren återgivning av vissa mytologiska teman, många fler variationer finns.

Argillittotempålar tillverkas fortfarande i stor omfattning. Argillittotempålar tillverkas både för turistbranschen och till mer seriösa samlare som t.ex muséer.

Enligt generalkatalogen är detta en; totempåle av svart skiffer, med proveniensen British Columbia. Skicket är gott förutom ett antal sprickor./CJG

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
