North America, southern United States, Texas, ca. second half of the 19th century CE. An interesting hatchet from Texas with a thin steel 'blade' that is wrapped around the top of a hand-carved wooden handle. The blade suggests its owner repurposed a steel sheet for the blade since the sturdy handle could still be used for its original intent. Size: 7.75" W x 15.75" H (19.7 cm x 40 cm)

Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired in 2008; ex-private Navasota, Texas, USA collection
