At the end of the war club tomahawk shows two wide flaps that act as the fringe or beaded drop, these flaps are of the one piece of Indian tanned hide that covers the entire haft handle. The fringe drops are fancy beaded along the edge. The piece shows a very good overall condition with little to no bead loss. Provenance: From a large Native American Indian artifact collection out of Iowa. Measures overall 27"L from the top of the war club head to the bottom of the fringe.
