Description: | Marked E127 MANU North American Indian Eastern Coast North America The club has a rectangular cross-section, widening beyond the blade to a rifle butt shape. The handle is decorated with two parallel-incised lines running along the border of the front half on both sides. The blade is straight, flat and symmetrically pointed, and has been fitted into a slot on the lower edge of the handle and soldered with lead.
In 1976, Professor James H. Howard of Oklahoma suggested the club was made in the East Woodlands area, late 18th or early 19th century. However, in 1980 Dr. Sturtevant of the Smithsonian Museum suggested that the club was made by the Ojibwa or East Plains tribes 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 : HUNTER_ETHNO_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 |
