The lot features a ball head war club from the Eastern Woodlands Great Lakes Indians dating to the late 19th Century. This late-1800's example shows a classic root burl ball head "S" pattern carved from a solid piece of wood showing a polychrome painted green and black pigment finish with solid brass square shank early old trade tacked design across the entire back, gripping area, along the head, and just below the head in a circle shield like and diamond pattern. The piece is carved from a lighter wood showing mineral pigment black and green paint, often seen from documented Eastern Woodlands, Great Lakes and Eastern Plains examples, such as the Eastern Plains 19th Century example with black head and green body which was offered for $8,000 in 2019. The piece comes with a custom museum metal display stand. The solid brass square shank tacks have a wonderful mellow orignal patina and overall the piece shows some dings, paint loss and patina from honest age and use. Provenance: From a Pennsylvania private collection and is likely from the Iroquois or Shawnee peoples in origin from the 1800's. Overall the club measures 17" by 4.5" by 3". The stand by itself is 7.25" by 4.5" by 3".
