Native American Steel Pipe Tomahawk
7 x 18.5 in. A 19th-century style North American indigenous trade-style pipe tomahawk featuring a forged steel head. The head incorporates a flared hatchet blade opposite an integral urn-shaped pipe bowl mounted over the eye. The metal exhibits an oxidized, dark brown patina with surface pitting throughout. The weapon is mounted on a dark-stained wooden haft, which is hollowed to serve as a functional pipe stem.
