<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 6184709, member: 55&quot;]No, sorry; but there are and have been dozens of Tsimshian artists who studied with or apprenticed to Kwakwaka&#039;wakw carvers; as well as, unfortunately, non-natives who have claimed to be Tsimshian.&nbsp; And of course, Tsimshian carvers who might have made a mask in a Kwakwaka&#039;wakw style without any formal apprenticeship.</p><p>I continue to believe however that this is native work, especially considering that it came from Hill&#039;s.&nbsp; I could note that Hill&#039;s sold works from a very large variety of artists, from the famous to those who were so unknown that they didn&#039;t bother to sign at all. </p><p>If I come across an item with that signature and solid attribution I&#039;ll let you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
