The lot features a circa 1890’s to early 1900’s Indian Reservation period spontoon pipe tomahawk. The piece shows an iron head with copper-inlaid heart at the center on both sides with the head being in a stylized spontoon shape. The piece has a tear drop eyelet hole with tall cast beehive vase like tapering bowl, stylized moldings, spike like spurs just below the filed ridges and stylized spontoon blade without basal processes. The old head is paired with an Indian Reservation period later solid ash wood haft which is accented with brass trade tacks, old-tanned leather hide, dyed or painted bands, bands of brass trade tacks and a pierced hole which holds a beadwork drop. The beaded drop is constructed of Indian tanned hide with glass trade beads in a square tab geometric pattern with colors of light blue, chalk white and black having long Indian hide fringes and ties. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Jim Bastian of Kansas City, Missouri. Measures overall 21”L without the drop with the head being 11.75”L from the pipe bowl to tip of blade.
