Description
Exceptional Plains Elaborately Tacked War Club, with Three Blades made of Green River Blades. Outstanding condition, with original drop formed of hide, horsehair, animal pelt, and beads. Originally polychrome green, although only hints of color remain. Length 40.5". Clubs such as this one doubtless saw wide use at Little Bighorn. The blades are held in place by liquefied lead, which was poured into the holes to act as a strong adhesive (one can easily understand why it was essential when such a weapon was used in battle that the blades be securely set in place). This is characteristic of early examples of this type of war club and is clearly original. .From the Glenwood Swanson Collection.
