Brock Tecumseh War Club

An Eastern Woodland ball headed war club commissioned by a Canadian museum:

• A replica of the original war club that was gifted to Isaac Brock during the war of 1812
• The original club was made from a maple root burl as is this one
• This club was believed to be given to Brock after Tecumseh was commissioned into the British Army. Brock was said to have given a regimental coat with gold epaulets and his personal sash to Tecumseh when crossing into Canada to raid the forts of the Great Lakes
• Single piece construction from a hardwood root burl collected along the historic Scioto River (heavily traveled river by the Shawnee and other Ohio Valley tribes)
• This club has a significant amount of drop with a ball being rather small in comparison to other Eastern Woodland war clubs
• The handle has been closely copied from the original with scallops adorning the underside of the club from the transition of the ball to the hand hold
• Decorating the handle on each side are incised carvings matching the original club with various patterns containing geometric and specific designs likely having meaning to its owner
• On one side is a carving of a thunder-bird totem and what appears to represent a British flag near the ball; all carvings were closely copied from the original
• Running along the entire length of the top of the handle is a geometric incised carving in a zigzag pattern like the original
• The ball of this club has many different root eclusions and stress cracks resembling an original root burl club
• The end of the hand hold has a shallow notch and a lanyard hole as does the Brock club
• This Indian war club has been lightly aged and rubbed back to represent light use similar to the original gifted club
