Sioux Indian stone head war club, comprised of a 16.5″ long handle wrapped in tiny red, blue, green, and white beads, attached to a oval-shaped stone with pointed ends, measuring approximately 5.25 x 2, the center of which is wrapped in a strip of bead-decorated animal hide. A long plume of red-dyed horse hair is also suspended from the bottom of the handle by a beaded section of hide. In fine condition, with a few loose strands of beads and a chip to one point of the stone. Dated post-1900 (likely circa 1930s), this style of club was generally made by the tribes to sell; a more attractive version of those used in their daily lives, both as weapons and to break open buffalo bones to obtain the marrow inside.
