A carved and painted wooden totem pole produced as a mid-20th-century souvenir. The sculpture features three stacked zoomorphic figures finished in a polychrome palette of yellow, green, red, and blue paint. The top figure is fitted with flat-profile green plywood wings decorated with red chevrons, attached by a single nail. The iconography includes stylized beaked faces and geometric symbols. The piece is mounted on a square blue wooden base decorated with a red teepee and a jagged yellow-and-red pattern. The reverse side of the wing section bears a printed inscription that reads Made By American Indians. This type of souvenir is characteristic of items sold at mid-century roadside attractions such as Totem Village in St. Ignace, Michigan. Dimensions not available.
