Carved Wooden Indian Table Totem Pole.

What a work of art! This impressive table totem pole has been finely carved out of wood for natural character. And, this one has been hand painted creating colorful and traditional Indian designs. Totem Poles have been historically used to celebrate and honor the lineage of a Native American family. Now, they're used as a means of artistic expression. This totem pole is perfect for display on a shelf or coffee table. It is 8-3/4" tall and 2-3/8" wide.

The objects man makes are called artifacts, and every artifact, whether it is beautiful or ugly, crude or refined, utilitarian or ceremonial, is a reflection and product of man's skills, his techniques, his arts. Artifacts reflect the ideas, the concepts, and the knowledge acquired or learned as a member of a tribe. Members of a particular tribe use certain techniques, and create a particular style because that is their tradition.
