Found this not far from home, on the museum grounds.
A totem pole that had been carved and raised over 25 years ago.
It is a deeply beautiful piece and this is but a part of it.
Hope to spend more time there again.

I love it! I love how you can see the wood grain, and how it looks like wrinkled skin.
A.
i read boubou's comment and then looked at the photo again, and it made me realize just how accurate the carvers were when they chose the exact piece of wood and location on the wood for carving this face. every line of grain aligns correctly. it's gorgeous! and i love the deep age and moisture cracks in the wood, too. always do.
very nice photo of a beautiful piece of art!
Great picture. Such a solemn face. I hope you show us more of it soon.
What great texture in this photograph. I love it!
What great texture in this photograph. I love it!
Oh, I love the textures in this! Everyone else beat me to it, but I had to add my two cents as well. :)
I love all the lines of woodgrain.
very striking! the grain and detailed carving is just awesome!
So beautiful! And your photo really brings out the personality.
you have done just justice to the texture...this reminds me of the totem pole we spotted on a grey misty day close to Pike Market in Seattle...the lack of light spoiled all my plans of getting a decent image of it :(((
That is so beautiful. The grain looks like fingerprints.
