This is a vintage carved stone totem pole sculpture, done in a Native American style and dating to around 1970. It stands 8.5 inches tall, about 1.5 inches wide and 2 inches deep, with a nicely polished dark stone surface—likely soapstone or serpentine—showing subtle natural veining. The stack features a bird at the top, a stylized human face, and additional animal masks below, all crisply cut with hand-tool details. It’s in near mint condition with sharp edges, a clean base, and no chips, so it displays beautifully on a shelf or desk. At roughly 56 years old, it’s solidly vintage and not easy to find this clean.

Pieces like this were made by small workshops and independent carvers for the 1960s–70s tourist and gallery market, especially in the Pacific Northwest and across Canada. Most were unbranded and sold through trading posts and museum shops, which is why there’s no maker’s mark here. Collectors look for good proportions, deep carving, and smooth polish, all present on this example. Because it’s Native American style rather than documented tribal work, describe and display it respectfully as inspired art. Light dusting maintains the sheen; avoid harsh cleaners. Near-mint survivors this size are getting scarce.
