Phippeny Park Totem

 
"Wildlife Totem"
Artist:  Jeff May

In approximately 2007/2008, the City of Coeur d'Alene Parks Department commissioned this carved wildlife white fir totem.  The totem has two bears, a wolf, an owl, three salmon, a river otter, a coyote, and a bald eagle.  There is also a bench that is cantilevered off each side, giving visitors a place to rest and enjoy the sculpture and views of the the park.  Wildlife totems are a great way to incorporate a variety of different wildlife figures into one sculpture.
