Originally from Kitamaat, Alfred Wesley was adopted by a Haida family and learned to carve in Haida Gwaii. This model totem is not a maquette for a larger work, but a finished work in itself. At the turn of the century, First Nations artists found there was a market for smaller totems, and started executing works such as this finely carved pole by Wesley. The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia has five totem works by Wesley in its collection.
