Great Lakes Indian Ball Head Warclub

This warclub is carved from a single piece of wood, about 22" long with a 2 3/4" diameter ball inset with a metal projection.
An interesting feature is the unique perforation in the rather thin club body (only 1/2" thick) which would indicate a great degree of workmanship and perhaps higher office of the owner while retaining enough strength to be battle worthy.  The ball is crowned with a sacred otter effigy and the grip is covered with snake skin.  Additional adornments include incised lines, carved indentations, and brass nailheads.

$1,200
