Description: | Alaska War club and Salmon knocker. Say
Wooden club carved in the shape of a seal or sea lion. Used for clubbing fish (halibut and salmon). The eyes are made of inlaid shell - probably H. kamchatkensis. Both the use of local abalone and the simplicity of design suggests an early date, as does the patina and wear.
