The handle has a sawtooth cut design under the front and is covered in hbands of brass covered metal furniture tacks. The base has a palm stop carved into the wood and the smoking tip is capped in brass, an artful touch.

The base has fringes of horse tail hair and fringes of Indian hide wrapped in porcupine quillwork with rolled tin jingle dangle cones on the end.

The club without the drop measures 25"L and the drop is an additional about 32"L.
