At the end of the club shows a double duck head pattern with the section between the heads protruding into the club several inches giving a very unique look. At the outside of the heads are three each (total of six) red dyed horse hair accents. The club has a pasted-on museum or collection identification note stating, “Ceremonial with duck head handle.” The piece shows a unique design with artful adornments. The exact age is unknown.
