Totem

A totem is a freestanding structure used to convey information or as a wayfinding guide. It is typically a tall, vertical pole or column that is often found outside buildings, shopping centers, or other public spaces. Totems can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, or stone, and may be decorated with graphics, logos, or other identifying information. They can be used to provide directions, identify specific locations, or display advertisements.
