$3995.00

Greetings fellow collectors: This is an authenticlate 19th century Gunstock War Club from the well known and respected Mark Francis collection of Native American weapons. It is attributed to the Prairie/Plains tribesbased on it\'s art style and form and features.It is pictured in the 2009 book \"The Mark Francis Collection of American Indian Art\" on page133 figure 207. Mark acquired it out of the Crissman collectionin Pennsylvania several years ago, where it was also featured in the book \"Plains Art: A Study of Artifacts of the Central Plains\" by F.C. Crissman. It is an extraordinary piece with excellent patina and art form. It measures 27 inches in length and has artful chip-carving and a large, pierced holewhich likely held a wrist thong. There is a piece of old circular trade tin inset into the top section of the haft. The haft is thin cut, has traces of old blue paint, a high-relief carved mid-section, and a 6 inch long notch-cut forged iron spear blade inserted into the haft. It is adorned with oldsquare shanked brass tack designs. May have later been used as a dance object during the reservation period. This is a great, authentic, documented and published piece that would make a great addition to your own collection!We have a fair market value reserve on this piece, so please plan on offerding accordingly.
