- Lot Description
Decorative tribal mask; Inscribed to inside "Human face mask made of alder wood By Freda Diesing 1979"; measures approximately 9-1/8" high and 6-1/2" wide; in Good condition. Freda Diesing (2 June 1925-4 December 2002) was one of very few female carvers of Northwest Coast totem poles and a member of the Council of the Haida Nation of British Columbia, Canada. Her Haida name is Skil Kew Wat, meaning "magical little woman". Diesing did not begin her carving career until she was 42 years old. She carved masks and bowls as well as totem poles. She was part of the major revival in Northwest Coast art in the 1960s. Her poles include two poles raised at the Tsimshian community of Kitsumkalum near Terrace, B.C., with the assistance of a Tsimshian team, a 1987 pole for the RCMP station in Terrace, and poles in Prince Rupert.
