Native American, Eastern United States, Iroquois tribe, ca. 19th century CE. An interesting, hand-carved wooden club of a sturdy form with a slender handle leading up to an egg-shaped head. The knobbed head exhibits a dense quality that would focus the energy behind a blow onto one minute area, causing excessive damage to its target. The surfaces of the weapon are imbued with a reflective luster that, along with the wood's natural brown and tan coloration, creates an attractive presentation. Size: 20.5" L x 2.1" W (52.1 cm x 5.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, purchased July 7, 2014; ex-Fagan Arms, Clinton Township, Michigan, USA

Minor abrasions to ball head and end of handle, with several stable pressure fissures commensurate with age, otherwise intact and very good. Wonderful patina throughout.
