Vintage Cowichan Sweater Totem Pole Thunderbird [1950s-]

This is a vintage Cowichan sweater from the 1950s. Cowichan knitting is a traditional knitting style from Vancouver Island, Canada, that combines European weaving with indigenous traditions to create distinctive items. Its popularity peaked in the 1950s, when many manufacturers outside of Canada produced more pop patterns. This is an impressive design featuring Native American tribal patterns knitted into it, including a totem pole on the front, a thunderbird on the pocket, and whale patterns on both shoulders. A relatively light wool yarn is used, and the soft knitting gives it a natural feel. A rare specimen with a well-balanced silhouette and in good condition.
