Early 20th C. Penobscot Indian Island Root Club

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Native American, Northeast United States, Maine, Penobscot Indian Island, ca. 1900s to 1950s CE. A root club hand-carved with a face carved into the end. The handle is deeply engraved with a leaf motif, and pyro-etched "Indian Island ME." Traditionally small birch trees are uprooted to create these clubs which functioned as symbolic and ceremonial items and adapted as weapons when necessary. By the late 19th century, the abundance of human faces and other varied subject matter on root clubs reflected an increased sales to non-Native tourists, moving away from the spiritual and towards folk art and souvenirs. Size: 23" L x 6" W (58.4 cm x 15.2 cm)

Provenance: private Alamo, California, USA collection, before 2000
