The top figure is the Raven which is the main crest of the Hunt family. The body of the Sisiutl, or two-headed serpent, runs along the side of the pole, with the Sea Monster the bottom figure on the pole. The Sculpin, or ling cod, is between the raven and the sea monster. The face of a man is on the sculpin tail just below the raven.
