Chinook Chief Comcomly holds a salmon as a symbol of goodwill and welcome. Tom McKay, a nineteenth century settler, wears a top hat and frock coat. A beaver with prominent incisors holds a stick above his cross-thatched tail. The beaver, Oregon's state symbol, represents industriousness. A grizzly bear, symbolizing great strength, protects a smaller human figure.
