This is a unique large stone head war club from the North Plains Native American Indians and dating to the 19th Century. This 1800’s war club shows a large bi-pointed carved stone skull cracker head with cone shaped points being held in place with a wrapping of parfleche inn a worked grove with a wooden haft handle being driven into the center of the stone. The stone has a nice rich coloring and patina. The wood haft handle is complete covered in Buffalo Indian tanned parfleche rawhide that is rawhide sewn and has a nice early porcupine quilled hide drop. The war club is also adorned with brass furniture tacks and red dye, thought to be a later addition to this piece. The drop shows Indian tanned hide with an outer edge of greasy blue seed cen beads of a 1800’s age with all porcupine quill quillwork in natural dyed colors of red, white natural, blue and purple. The drop has a distinctly Ute Indian like pattern. The piece shows a large and long size and was likely used on horseback, making this a truly lethal weapon. Provenance: From a large Western Cowboy and American Indian collection in Dayton, Wyoming. The piece measures 31" long with the head measuring 7 3/4" long by 2 1/4" in diameter.
