which you may apply to your next purchase from this seller!OFFERED FOR SALE!This fascinating Totem Pole Sculpture, a reproduction-model of the monumental totem poles erected by the Orca First Nations Indians of Canada and the Pacific Northwest coast.The purpose of totem pole monuments was to represent and to commemorate tribal history, important ancestors, individuals, and historical events. These totem poles were erected in highly visible places within the community. They were, in a sense, focal points in the urban structure.The materials typically used for carving such large-scale monuments included red cedar, a very malleable wood found in abundance in the Pacific Northwest. Small-scale model poles are made in yellow cedar today by Orca tribal artisans.The iconography (images and their meaning) of these totem pole sculptures is very interesting and illuminates many aspects of the lives of the people in the First Nations tribes: Most totem poles display animals from nature, fantasy, or a combination of nature and fantasy. The carvings are typically never naturalistic (in the sense of traditional sculpture of the Western tradition) but are abstract stylized forms. These animals are superimposed from bottom to top and often form crests which function to display to the community the lineage of an important family whose rulership rights and accompanying privileges are proclaimed in the totem and justified by its striking imagery. In this sense, totem poles are quasi-historical documents which record in images (not words) important families, clans, or events. The particular animals typically and prominently displayed in Orca Northwest Coast First Nations totem pole sculptures are stylized images of natural-supernatural beings, sometimes with human features. The most frequently encountered animals are:THE EAGLE represents pride and also friendship. Sometimes the eagle is sculpted with wings outstretched--in a stylized flight--but othertimes, as in the case of this reproduction-model, with wings at his side sitting at the apex of the totem pole. THE ORCA (killer-whale) represents communication and travel. THE BEAVER symbolizes creativity and industry. We all know the expression \"busy as a beaver.\"

CONSOLIDATED SHIPPING IS OFFERED

Items purchased by the same buyer on the same day will beconsolidated into one shipment box, whenever the seller considers consolidationto be safe to combine the items and physically feasible. Consolidationtypically saves the buyer money in USPS postal costs.

Typically items purchased in the same category (for example:Jewelry: Rings) can be easily consolidated into one shipment.

However, items of different categories—especially when of very dissimilarmaterial, dimensions, or fragility--cannot be feasibly combined and would,therefore, not be consolidated into the same shipment box: For example, a delicateDresden porcelain sculpture could not be combined with heavy marble or brassbookends or with a crystal vase. In such a case, consolidation would riskdamage to those dissimilar items—however well wrapped- while in transit viaUSPS.
