An important and fine and example of an Ojibwa carved club with elaborate and finely-executed incised floral and figural decoration on the flat-sided handle and the ball. The ball shows use, but the patina is overall smooth and even and the intricate incised designs remain deep and pronounced. Almost two feet long by more than half-a-foot across at its widest, it measures 22” long overall, and 7” across at the head. A great early and decorative example, with period use and striking color and style. From a notable, private collection.
Item Dimensions: 23" x 6 - 1/2" x 3".
