This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/30/2019
The club measures about 23" overall with a diamond section handle. It is constructed from a single piece of partially figured maple. There are three grooves on the inside near the top of the handle. There is a large ball carved at the top but there is no spike, indicating ceremonial use. There is a 4-1/2" otter effigy on the spine just behind the ball. This club is probably Eastern Native American. CONDITION: Very good, showing an old finish with scattered areas of wear, denting, and marks from use. The club has very attractive form and is well-constructed.
