The totem features great well carved imagery featuring an Eagle with a salmon in his talons followed by a Raven transforming into its human chiefly form. The rings on the hat the raven is wearing are known as \"skil\" rings which represent the number of potlatches the particular chief has hosted. The more rings the more importance This totem is attributed to master Haidacarver Andrew Brown ( 1879-1962) and features great imagery featuring an Eagle,Killer whale biting an Octopus or devil-fish and a Raven/ shaman transforming at the bottom.
