Description: PLEASE BE ADVISED: Because Ebay has instituted a policy of making its own "offered reduced sales prices, deciding what it believes is reasonable on no basis whatsoever, and without the Seller’s advanced notice, I have deleted the listing option “Offers Accepted.” HOWEVER, I am generally willing to consider offers in some instances and it is always worth inquiring through messaging. Ca.1920 MASTER ENGRAVED FIGURAL CATLINITE PIPE TOMAHAWK--INDIANS ATTACK COWBOY A SUPERIOR CATLINITE PIPE TOMAHAWK EARLY 1900’s PIPE TOMAHAWK: ENGRAVED WITH SCENE OF TWOINDIANS ATTACKING FLEEING COWBOY, ONLY PARTIALLYINDICATED BY HIS BOOTS, PANTS AND LONG HAIR. THE LEAD INDIAN PLUNGESA DAGGER IN HIS BACK AND PULLS HIS HAIR PREPARING TO SCALP HIM. THE FOLLOWING INDIAN HOLDS A PIONEER KNIFE AND A TOMAHAWK OVERHEAD. AMAZING DETAILS TO THEIR APPAREL: THE LEAD INDIAN HAS A BELT TOMAHAWK, AND WEARS A FRILLED UPPER GARMENT, PANTS, AS WELL AS A FEATHERED HEADDRESS. HE HAS EARRINGS AND A NECKLACE. THE FOLLOWING INDIAN HAS THE SAME, ANDEVEN WARPAINT IS INDICATED ON THEIR FACES. EXTRAORDINARY FINE CARVED DETAIL IS EXHIBITED ON EVERY SURFACE OF THIS REMARKABLE TOMAHAWK. MEASUREMENTS: 7 1/2 INCHES LONG BY 4 1/2 INCHES WIDE. My dating is based on the somewhat caricatured Indians (looking a lot like Pawnees with aquiline noses and bald pates) who were likely images emerging at a time when "Cowboy and Indian" movies popularized the tragedy of our massacre of the indigenous tribes. Younger Indians revered their forbears as heroic warriors, but after Wounded Knee, the mixed emotions may be captured by an Indian artist born in the early 1900's, spoofing their attack on a cowboy. CONDITION: EXCELLENT. NO REPAIRS. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED
