This is a fine traditional hand carved and shaped bone hide scrapper from the Northern Plains Sioux Native American Indians that dated to circa 19th Century. The piece is constructed from a Great American Bison Buffalo large bone that has been carved and shaped. The piece shows a rich heavy patina with primitive carving techniques adding to its very early Indian wars era age. The piece shows the typical drastic right turn top which would have originally held a gun barrel or bit of old iron blade adhered to the end with parfleche rawhide wrappings, which is now missing. The piece has a primitively punctured drilled end as shown. This is truly one of the earliest museum quality adze hide scrappers of such a large size that we have had the pleasure of making available for sale. The scrapper measures 13 1/4" long, 4 5/8" wide at the head, and 2" thick at the base of the handle. The piece shows an old museum collection tag with identification numbers. Provenance: From a large Great Falls, Montana Old West and American Indian collection.
