This is a fantastic early 1800s burl ball head war club in an enormous size from the Southern Plains region. The war club is carved from a single piece of wood with the very large head being carved from the root burl. The handle is expertly carved with a tapered gripping area with pommel end having a triangular taper to a cylindrical end. The head is noted by the collector as having an animal shape, which is indiscernible. The entire piece has nice honest patina,with crackling to the outside from honest age and deep color. Provenance: From a private Native American collection in Paris, France. Measures overall 22.5"L with the head being approx. 11.5" x 6" x 5.5".*
