haida argillite carvings, made by the haida indigenous nation of the northwest coast of north america, came into existence during the 1800s. these carvings were mostly born out of the haida desire to trade with the european explorers who came to their shores. argillite carvings, therefore, are commonly seen as a tourist art because they were firstly designed to be exported from the haida community and created solely as a means of economic prosperity.the dimensions of this totem 6"x1 1/4"x11 3/8" thunderbird killerwhale totem unsigned circa 1940
