The massive wood carvings unique to the Indian peoples of the Northwest Coast arouse a sense of wonder in all who see them. This guide helps the reader to understand and enjoy the form and meaning of totem poles and other sculptures. The author describes the origin and place of totem poles in Indian culture – as ancestral emblems, as expressions of wealth and power, as ceremonial objects, as mythological symbols, and as magnificent artistic works of the people of the Pacific Northwest. Halpin also suggests ways to interpret the motifs and symbols carved on the poles and shows how to recognize the special features which reveal not only the skill of the carver but also his tribal origin.

Good book, illustrations nearly all black and white, has a different cover to the one shown on the listing. However a lot of the poles in the illustrations are very weathered or in old monochrome photos. Quite a scholarly work, rather than a coffee table book: not just glossy pictures, but an informative text.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
