Beautifully carved 40 ft. towering totem pole on the south side of Winslow, right next to the railroad tracks. The carving of the face is phenomenal! The top half of the totem is the face of a Native American, with very large facial features. The carving is still in great shape and the details in the artwork are easily seen.
The sculpture itself is located in a typical desert landscaped setting, with some concrete walking paths nearby. Just to the east is a nice park with gazebo.
