NORTHWEST COAST POLYCHROME WOOD CHIEF'S STOOL.
Anthropos Gallery
This stool, carved and painted, is supported on four legs, each an individually carved and painted totem. The seat is carved with an anthropomorphic figure at one end, and a frog effigy at the other end. The top of the seat depicts an eagle with a salmon in his talons. This stool not only has native significance, but is also a fun and striking work of folk art.
