Larry Rudick is a non-Indigenous carver who married into the Williams family of Ditidaht carvers, based in Seattle. Rudick learned to carve from his in-laws and have been making totems in their style since the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pole is Rudick’s interpretation of the Tlingit Chief Shakes Totem Pole of Wrangell, Alaska. The original Chief Shakes Totem was carved by Tlingit master carver William Ukas (1834-1903) and was a popular image on “Totem Pole Route” steamship advertisements and a popular destination for tourists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this exposure served to make the Chief Shakes Totem an iconic symbol of Alaska and a frequent source of inspiration for model totem pole carvers. Rudick’s version here is a slightly truncated adaptation of the original and features Raven in a chiefly hat sitting on the Box of Daylight, Mother Raven, and Frog, mounted on chamfered base. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877900705957,"sku":"240619-89","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p13156_i6_w747.jpg?v=1757347665","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/240619-89-vintage-eagle-totem-by-larry-rudick","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
