Puma Ball-Headed War Club

Sold

Ball-headed war clubs were used by the Eastern and Plains Indians during the 16th through 19th century, similar to the gunstock war club. Made from the rootball of a hardwood tree, these clubs were durable and efficient weapons.

This club is carved from a single piece of curly maple, oiled to a soft glowing finish. The head is carved with a stylized puma biting the 2.5" diameter ball. The eyes and teeth are painted, and the carved finger grip is wrapped in dyed red leather. The club is 20" long. 

    Architecture and award-winning museum-quality custom handmade knives, edged weapons, powder horns, tomahawks, war clubs, jewelry, metal sculpture, cribbage boards, flint and obsidian knives, Japanese swords, menorahs, and more from Tucson, Arizona artist and architect Larry Gotkin.
