Offered in this lot is a hand carved Elk antler handle with a flint stone hide scraper by a Shawnee Native American. The elk antler has a hole drilled on one end for the flint to be lashed in place with rawhide and supported by an epoxy. On the other end is a hole with a soft piece of buckskin, making a wrist loop. Also on buckskin is a "tag", giving information on the scraper. Carved into the antler handle is believed to be the artist’s name. The scraper measures 16" long with the head measuring 4 1/2".
