<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 4300456, member: 55"]This mask is not Beau Dick's work, or any of the Scow family, in my opinion. The Scow family has a very consistent use of color and forms, and I don't see any of those characteristics here; and the signature is not one I find on any of the Scow masks I have or have seen. The second one below is by Rupert Scow, and does bear some resemblance to OPs, so it is certainly worth asking. The third one below would be more typical Scow family work.Compare:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348047[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]348048[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]348054[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a lovely story about Judy Hill though. She and I were competing bidders on a box lot at a live auction; I was very interested because it contained a spoon carved by an artist I had a great interest in, though it was not a particularly valuable spoon. She outbid me, however; and after the auction she came to me and said "I know you were interested in that spoon, but that's not the item I cared about in that lot."</p><p>She handed me the spoon, and refused any payment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
