This is a phenomenal pipe tomahawk with beaded drop from the Northern Cheyenne Native American Indians of Wyoming dating to circa 1880. The pipe shows a hand blacksmith forged iron that has an artful brass weeping heart cut out and inlay at the center and two small brass inlaid circles above it. The head has a small rear facing spur, filed chevrons and a tall bowl with heavy ridge moldings. This is a large, heavy example with long, hardwood haft that is adorned with old hot file brandings and brass trade tacks in bands. The entire piece has a nice deep chocolate patina and minor wear from true honest age and use. The beaded drop shows an Indian tanned hide with long frilly fringe, geometric glass trade seed bead beadwork and rolled tin jingle dangle cones attached. The piece also shows two fringe drops at the gripping area with larger wound glass pony trade beads in colors of chalk white, amber and sky padre blue. The beadwork has the typical Cheyenne bar design in colors of chalk white, cobalt, greasy yellow, sky padre blue and medium green. The bottom of the drop has a strand of blue stroud trade clothe wool. Provenance: From the ex-Collection of Ted and Lilly Jarvis of Ohio and Tom Hardy of Indiana. Truly a fine Indian Wars period tomahawk with beaded drop. Measures overall 28 inches in length with a head that is 12 inches long with a 4 ¼ inch long blade. The drop is an additional 21 inches in length.
