Sudbury Silk Totem Pole

2002 sculpture by Ben Platts-Mills, commemorating the importance of the silk industry in the town's commercial history.

 

Carved from the remains of a dead 100-year-old Monterey Cypress, the sculpture tells the story of the silk-making process, from the silk moth at the top to the finished product at the bottom.

 

Corner of Newton Road and Alexandra Road, Sudbury, Suffolk.
