Explore the Description and history of this artwork, Untitled Totem Pole.
Oliver and Bender designed the 50-foot (15 m) totem based on Haida imagery, and Bender carved the sculpture. The top of the totem depicts a raven holding a Salish spinning whorl. Below the raven are human figures, a killer whale with a protruding dorsal fin, another smaller raven, and a bear holding a hawk. The pole is mounted on a concrete base and supported by a steel beam.
