Wings of the Silent Herald - totem

3D Model

This totem pole, perched on a rectangular wooden base and crowned by a bird with outstretched wings, channels the ceremonial spirit of Pacific Northwest Indigenous art. The bird, painted in red, black, and white, likely represents a thunderbird or eagle, a figure of immense power and spiritual authority. Its wings stretch wide, signaling protection and the transmission of ancestral wisdom.

Beneath it, carved faces and symbols unfold in a vertical narrative. Each figure, with distinct expressions and colors, may embody clan ancestors, mythic beings, or moral lessons. Totem poles like this are not worshipped, they are storytellers in wood, chronicling lineage, history, and belief. “Wings of the Silent Herald” speaks to the pole’s role as a guardian of memory, where every carved gaze watches over the living, reminding them of the voices that came before.
