Description

This frontal pole belonged to an unnamed house at the base of Idjao Hill. Newcombe brought the frontal pole to Victoria, BC in 1901 where it stood in Beacon Hill Park until it was eventually blown over. The remaining pieces were sent to the Museum of Anthropology at the Univeristy of British Columbia. The pole has since been re-carved by Jim Hart.
