The woodland Indians called this type of weapon a "Tomahawk.". Tomahawk is a word derived from the Algonquian language. It was only after European traders introduced metal hatchets that the word "Tomahawk" became linked with an axe like weapon.

This particular tomahawk head is made from a naturally shaped stone from a river bed. It is bound onto a deerskin wrapped willow handle, attached with rawhide.

It is decorated with glass crow beads, pheasant feathers, and long buckskin fringes.

The stone head is approximately 1 1/2 to 2" in length. Stone shapes will vary. The overall length is approximately 10-12 inches.
