The lot features a ball head war club with spontoon blade from the 20th-century in a classic Huron pattern. The club exhibits a hardwood carved ball head with blue painted finish that is inset into a carved wood stock having a classic Huron pattern. The Huron, otherwise known as the Wyandot of the Northeastern Woodlands, pattern is that of a straight or slightly arched handle with the ball being inset into the club with a slightly curved top. The club shows a sheet iron remnant that is forged into a classic spontoon blade with double edge blade with two upward curled basal processes. The blade goes through the ball and handle and is forged and peened over to hold it into place. The piece is from the 20th Century and while it is in the pattern of the Huron Great Lakes Woodlands, the exact origin is unknown. The club has a beveled body with curved top, carved down handle area and ridged wave like underside. The club has bands of file brandings. The bottom has a contemporary hide tie and braided leather tie with metal tips. Measures overall 19-inches long by 8-inches wide. The blade protrudes 5-inches out of the head by 2.75-inches wide.
