The lot features a wonderful pipe tomahawk with fine pewter inlay attributed to the Great Lakes Eastern Woodlands Native American Indians. The piece shows a Tiger Maple hardwood haft, which shows three pewter inlaid bands with cross-like pattern and spherical balls at each end, a common design seen on other Eastern Woodlands inlaid catlinite pipe bowls. The end of the haft has a pewter smoking tip. Overall, the wood has a small hair line crack and slight shrinking, with the pewter being proud and the smoking tip being slightly loose. The haft protrudes past the tear drop eyelet hole of the pipe tomahawk and holds a nicely carved clean out plug of bone with a yellowing patina. Under the tomahawk to haft connection shows remnants of a worn away gasket, deep patina and rust. The tomahawk head itself has a typical 1800-1820 style pattern, with the smaller pattern having a slightly flaring blade that curves backwards with a smooth spur and medium vase-like bowl. The tomahawk head appears to have a crescent moon inlay on one side. The tomahawk head has surface rust and appears to have been cleaned by a previous collector. While the haft has the appearance of early original age, the cleaning marks and rust on the head makes the exact age of the piece unknown. Please examine the piece closely for a personal representation of age, origin, and originality. The piece measures overall 20.25” L with an axe head that is 7.5” L and a blade that is 3 1/8” L.
