This is an amazing Pacific Northwest Native American casted 925 sterling silver totem pole necklace pendant. Pacific Northwest Native American totem poles are iconic, monumental carvings created by First Nations and Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. They are primarily visual representations of kinship, depicting family crests, clan membership, and family histories. Totem poles are typically made from large western red cedar trees and feature stylized human, animal, and supernatural figures.
