(4) Carved Stone Totems. Lot comprised of four carved stone totems, two depicting bears, one seal, one canine.

Animal form stone totems are sculptural objects that embody the spiritual, cultural, or symbolic significance of animals, often created by indigenous and traditional societies around the world. Carved from stone, these totems may represent clan emblems, guardian spirits, or mythological figures, and are frequently used in rituals, ceremonies, or as markers of social identity. The animals depicted—ranging from birds and fish to mammals—are chosen for their perceived qualities, such as strength, wisdom, or agility, and are rendered with stylized or abstracted forms that highlight symbolic meaning over strict realism. Beyond their spiritual function, these stone totems are admired as works of art, demonstrating skillful carving techniques, careful attention to proportion, and a deep connection to the natural and supernatural worlds.

Size: 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 in.
