“Deep-sea Totem” (2019)

Image of a carving on a totem pole found at a depth of 55 feet in the waters off Ayak Island or Sledge Island in the Bering Sea. It is speculated it depicts a deep-sea creature once caught by an ancient tribe that once resided on the island. Traces of a red pigment were preserved in the very cold water which allowed a close match for the illustration.
