Untitled Totem Pole
Untitled Totem Pole (also known as simply Untitled or Totem Pole) is a 1984 cedar totem pole created by James Bender and Marvin Oliver, installed in Seattle's Victor Steinbrueck Park, in the U.S. state of Washington.
Description and history
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.
