EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Totem Pole Model created by the Haida people in the late 19th century. Crafted from wood and adorned with vibrant pigments, this intricate sculpture measures 68.6x11.4 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Originating from Canada's British Columbia region, the Haida are indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. This totem pole model represents their rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship. The detailed carving on this wooden sculpture reflects the artistic prowess of the Haida tribe. Each element tells a story or symbolizes an aspect of their mythology and culture, making it a significant piece within Native American art. With its striking colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this Totem Pole Model serves as a testament to both Haida traditions and Native American culture as a whole. It stands as an emblematic representation of coastal life, connecting communities along North America's western hemisphere. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable artwork that embodies centuries-old customs passed down through generations. As we admire this photograph, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within native America's diverse tapestry of cultures.
