The lot features a 19th Century Spontoon Pipe Tomahawk from the Sioux Indians of South Dakota. This is a large, heavy example featuring an iron spontoon pattern head with upward curled basal processes. These pattern of head date to the 1890 time period. The haft handle is comprised of hard wood and is elaborately adorned with brass trade tacks and has an old-pierced hole that likely held a drop of feather or beaded drop at one time. The brass tacking shows several bands and geometric patterns which likely represent the owner’s tribe, war band, tribal clan, name and possibly war history, along with showing a nice mellow original patina. The end consists of a cut off brass rifle cartridge inset into the bottom end as a smoking tip. The smoking channel is clogged and will not draw any longer. The entire tomahawk has a nice, even mellow patina from honest use and age. The pipe shows a tapering vase like bowl with single rim at the top, chevron molding on the tear drop eye / eyelet hole with tiered moldings and typical Spontoon flaring wide double edge blade with raised center section along with the fine upward curled basal processes and overall has a nice worn patina. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Tom Hardy Indianapolis, Indiana. The head measures 9 inches in length and the tomahawk overall is 21 inches in length.
