Description: Vintage K. M. Yiouw Totem Pole Carving Description and Item Information Up for sale is this totem pole carving by K. M. Yiouw. Please excuse any glare in the photos. This winged totem was carved by hand from British Columbian cedar, and it has some painted decoration. This was made from three pieces of wood (body, base, and wings). It measures about 9 7/8 inches by 10 1/2 inches by 2 3/4 inches. Unpacked, this piece weighs 6.3 ounces. This would be a fine addition to a collection of Pacific Northwest carvings. Identification This piece has markings on its back side, as shown. It says, "KM YIOUW N VAN BC," "HAND CARVED FROM BC CEDAR," "THUNDERBIRD KILLER WHALE," and "VANCOUVER BC." The exact age of this piece is not known. I did not find biographical information about the artist, K. M. Yiouw. This is from a Northern California estate collection of Northwest Coast artifacts. Condition This piece looks good overall, as shown, with no cracks. It has very light wear. One wing has two small chips (the wing on the right when you are facing the front side). There are a few other tiny nicks/dents. Please review the description and photos, and ask any necessary questions prior to bidding or buying. Terms of Sale 1. Payments Taxes may be applicable.
