From the eastern Woodlands, late eighteenth century. A sleek and elegant spiked warclub befitting a man of stature and leadership. Carved from a single piece of figured maple, finished with dignified restraint. Small nailheads and brass tacks highlight panels on the octagonal haft. The grip area is covered with worn deerhide flanked by sections of old powder horn strap. Decorative danglers are composed of cloth, beads, hide and two fur & bone “haircones”.
This club was made 20 years ago as a loaned item for the Kentucky Historical Society. After three years in a Daniel Boone exhibit it was returned and kept in the artist’s collection. He feels ready to part with it.
