The ball headed club was found mainly in the Woodlands and eastern Plains. Although rather basic looking at first glance, this model has features that denote fine artistic input in a deadly effective weapon. The carving of the hexagonal shaft required extra care and attention to detail. Its decorations are reserved, with just part of the spine accented with tacks. The sides feature embedded trade beads and brass nailheads in a mountain motif. The ball head’s heavy spike is highlighted by radiating brass nailheads. A partial rawhide wrap and a simple tassel of faded ribbon complete the grip area. Length 22”
