Featured in this lot is this excellent spiked tomahawk from the Northeastern Atlantic Coastal American Indians dating to circa 1730-1770. The piece shows spiked tomahawk war club pattern with the curved spike. The spike is square at the elongated oval eyelet hole, which then tapers gradually to its point. The eyelet hole is raised and crudely forged, flowing into the triangular axe blade that has a slight curved wide blade. The piece is incredibly similar to the example found in Harold L. Peterson’s 1965 book, “American Indian Tomahawk”, in figure/ photograph 67, page 95; it is attributed as a Spiked Tomahawk from New York State, mid-18th Century, with a long-curved spike and relatively short blade. The condition of this spike tomahawk is good, with no obvious signs of damage. Provenance: From a historic Eastern Montana American Indian Collection, where the piece was found to be an authentic original, one of the finest collections of American Indian weaponry and antiquities in Montana. The measurements of this spike tomahawk head are 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 7/8".
