Now with COPPER and ABALONE inlaid! Carved from the light wood of the North American forest, comes the Thunderbird Bear Totem Pole. Found mainly on Kwakiuti poles, the Thunderbird is one of the most powerful spirits. It is said that he would often journey down from the Northern Mountains, travel to the ocean, and swoop down to catch a whale in his mouth. Lightning was said to emanate from his eyes, while thunder rolled off his wings as he flew. The curled appendages on his head were said to be horns. This totem is over 3 feet tall. The wings of the thunderbird must be screwed in for the bird to unveil its wide wing span. Made from wood, copper and abalone details, 43"H x 31"W x 8"L.
