by known carver Ray William, signed on back . Also marked "Hand carved indian made from the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop Seattle Washington since 1899". Measures 19"x5" Carved wood totem pole featuring a eagle, frog, and orca by John Williams. He is perhaps the most famous, and, arguably, talented member of the eminent Williams family of carvers. He was 18 years old when he carved this totem pole in 1978. John’s work is highly prized among collectors, rarely comes to market, and this is a fine example - especially for such a young carver. Elaborate detail and skill.
