Native Americans of the Great Plains region, United States
Circa 1860
Wood and iron

Also known as a ‘calumet tomahawk’, this tomahawk features a European-imported wrought-iron blade decorated with an openwork stylised heart motif.
On the opposite side, the pipe bowl forms a protrusion with a flanged rim.
The wooden pipe stem also serves as the weapon’s handle; it is carved with openwork at the distal end, whilst the proximal end serves as the blade.
