Iowa Warclub

The artist’s rendition of a uniquely innovative warclub attributed to the Iowa tribe of Oklahoma. The original is in the collection of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, NY. Not quite a tomahawk, this wicked-looking club incorporates a chisel-like implement set into a flattened “head” reminiscent (in profile) of a ball head club, on top of which sits an integrally-carved creature, possibly an otter.

Length 20” Currently not for sale
