It is estimated that perhaps ten percent of all Native warclubs contained some sort of decorative perforations (excluding thong holes). A common site for material removal in ball headed clubs was the juncture of ball and haft, dramatically highlighting both the appearance of the ball and the skill of the maker.
This club of Northeastern Woodland design has a scalloped eight-sided haft and well-situated brass tacks. Inset into the top surface is a trinket classified as Trade Silver, routinely traded or gifted to Native peoples for use in clothing and body adornment.
