Crow Tomahawk - Northern Great Plains (USA), 19th century
The wrought-iron blade features a heart-and-crescent-shaped openwork cutout, typical of the prestige models exchanged with settlers in the 19th century. The opposite part, in the shape of a furnace, was used for smoking during councils or treaties, giving the object a dual function: warlike and diplomatic.
The patinated wooden handle is finely notched with regular spirals. At its end hangs a beaded sheath with geometric motifs in blue, red and white glass beads. This ornamentation is extended by rawhide bangs and a few ritual elements.
Materials: wrought iron, wood, glass beads, rawhide, feathers, metal decorations. Length: 54 cm. Blade length: 25 cm.
