This piece has been in the family for quite a while. I have been told it is rare CA 1920 replica of a Native American Indian 16 painted stone head tomahawk. Hide wrap to 4 painted head. Excellent patina to complete tomahawk. A very desirable stone head tomahawk. This Native American style stone tomahawk measures 16 long, has a wooden handle, which is wrapped in a leather thong which holds the stone in place. Not decorated with all the bells and whistles as later productions, it is believed to be a ceremonial hatchet from the early 20th century, circa 1910. The stone has been decorated with blue, red and yellow painted design, as has the handle. It appears that the handle is also leather wrapped. The hatchet stone is approximately 3 ½" high x " wide and about 1 thick. This piece would be an awesome addition. This piece is in excellent condition considering its age.
