This is a unique beaded drum club from the Flathead Native American Indian tribe of Montana dating to circa early 1900. The piece would have been used to strike a drum as it shows a soft most likely horse or human hair filled hide. The piece shows a Hickory wood haft or handle with polished bark gripping area that is stripped of bark along the majority of the shaft and at the end held on by Parfleche rawhide wraps is a heavy Indian tanned hide club head being filled with a soft material and showing wonderful glass trade seed bead work. The beadwork shows a Cheyenne pink, chalk white, semi-transparent dark green, red white hearts, semi-transparent sky padre blue, and medium blue. The club measures 19 3/4" long, and 1 5/8" wide at the head. The beadwork shows the initials, "JR" and are surrounded by an oval frame with a symbol of two feathers along the top. The piece shows a museum collection tag that states this as being collected from the Flathead Indians in Polson, Montana circa 1965 with two ID numbers. The piece shows a nice even patina indicative of its early age.
