Photograph of a totem pole standing at the Saxman Totem Park, as viewed straight-on. The totem pole stands in the near distance, left-of-center, and is viewed from the front. An arch is carved into the totem pole's base and about 4 figures appear to be carved above it. Shrubbery covers the ground directly behind the totem pole and a tree-covered mountainside is visible rising in the far distance at right.
