Late 19th C. Eastern Plains Indians Gunstock Dance Club
Product Description
Native American, Central Plains, Eastern Plains Indians, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A sizable dance club that is hand-carved from nicely grained wood used to make light but durable rifle stocks. The lengthy club features a discoid pommel with a central perforation, a slightly curved shoulder, a large circular 'ball,' and an abstract zoomorphic face incised into the top. Dozens of petite brass pins are decoratively inserted into the handle, body, and 'ball,' and a slender steel blade projects laterally from the side of the ball.
Condition: Nicks and minor abrasions to head, 'ball,' handle, and pommel, with losses to some brass pins, and softening to some finer details. Light earthen deposits and nice patina throughout.
