Description: | Hole bored in handle for wire hook for display purposes. MANU Ojibwa, North American Indian Great Lakes North America The club is formed from a single L-shaped piece of wood with a ball at the tip. The shaft is thin and flat with slightly convex faces and a decoration of incised lines and geometrical patterns, including thistle-like plant leaves and rosettes. There is a face carved into the round tip, with eyes, ears, nose and a protruding tongue.
In 1976, Professor James H. Howard of Oklahoma suggested the club was made by the Ojibwa or Iroquois tribes in the late 18th or early 19th century. However, in 1980 Dr. Sturtevant of the Smithsonian Museum suggested that the club was made by the Ojibwa tribe in the late 19th Century. The donor remains unknown. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PITTR : NAMERE : JEN : NCOOK : GRASAC : ETHNO2_2007 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
