Warrior Face Club 1.800,- €
1. ca.56.5 cm long, made from a hard fruitwood root with imitation of use and fight; single piece construction for durability. In many cases the Native Americans improved such a ball-headed club with an iron spike to make it much more effective.
2. formed with a flatened handle gently tapering to a slightly rounded grip, ending with a warrior´s head with war paint, brass nails as eyes - even lightning in the dawn, authentic wampum inlays as earrings, inlay of a roach (white-tail deer heair) touching the owner´s wrist.
3. The carvings on both sides of an Ottawa original (ca. 1800 – 1825) featured in the Warnock Collection and another Huron or Ojibwa (1750 - 1775) war club from the Kinker Collection on splendidheritage.com showing animals such as eagels, owls, a fox, the Underwater Panther (a mythological being feared and revered by the tribes around the Great Lakes), eating deer, plants, goose flying over water and hills, clouds and geometric designs, maybe a star or a snow flake and a diamond whimsical symbol, maybe a council.
4. Traditional finish with linseed / walnut oil
