Lot 329A
**Originally Listed At $350**
Native American, Western United States, Plains Tribes, Dakota / Lakota (Sioux), ca. early 20th century CE. A dance / war club with a stone head mounted on a long and slender wood rod with rawhide. The handle is entirely covered with hide, a seam up one side, the rawhide wrapping around the center of the stone head. The stone is pecked to a blunt, and rounded shape. Plains tribes used stone-headed clubs in warfare, ceremony, and in dance. The age as well as the short, slender, and somewhat delicate handle suggests this was probably not used extensively, and perhaps only for powwows or other events. Size: 13" L x 5" W (33 cm x 12.7 cm)
