This Northwest Coast sea otter effigy fish-killing club is modeled after examples attributed to the Tlingit (kling-it) or Haida (hydah) tribes. It is positioned in the otter’s familiar waterborne repose clutching a half-eaten fish. The grooved handle ends in a sizable knob strung with a braided hide wrist thong. (Unfortunately the images don’t adequately show the striations of the inset abalone eyes).
