- Description
- Club with clubhead, probably a cylindrically shaped stone, completely covered with buckskin and attached to willow branch handle nearly completely wrapped with buckskin. Head is secured to handle by means of leather strap passing over and nailed to handle then completely covered with soft buckskin sewed to its shape forming a loose, but secure, clubhead. There is a collar of hide with hair on at the neck, then the handle is wrapped with narrow thong of buckskin about 1/3 of the way down where there is a fringed collar of buckskin, and then a large piece of buckskin is sewed on to cover the rest of the handle. A wrist strap of stiff hide is held to the end of the handle with a tightly wrapped thong of buckskin covered with another fringed collar band. A single eagle feather hangs from the middle of the handle.
