Vintage Alaska Black Diamond Totem Raven And Maiden

Vintage hand-carved Yellow Cedar totem pole signed by Vic Yeoda of Alaska Black Diamond. Measuring approximately 6 inches tall, this finely detailed carving features a striking three-figure composition • A seated Raven at the base • A central female (maiden) face • A Raven with outstretched wings crowning the top Hand carved and hand painted in traditional Northwest Coast style, the piece highlights the symbolic importance of Raven in Indigenous Alaskan art. Raven is known as a powerful cultural figure — a bringer of light, knowledge, and transformation — often associated with wisdom, cleverness, and spiritual balance. The inclusion of the female face between the two Ravens suggests themes of lineage, storytelling, and the connection between the human and spirit worlds — a common visual structure in totemic art where figures represent relationships, ancestry, or mythological narratives. Crafted from solid cedar, the carving shows beautiful grain and careful detailing, with vibrant hand-applied colors that remain strong. Signed on the base. In great vintage condition.
