- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $800**
Native American, North America, central/southern United States, Southern Plains Indians, ca. mid-19th century CE. A large club with a hefty stone pounder that was not used for warfare, but rather food preparation. The handle is formed from tightly bound sinew strands wrapped with red-dyed hide that bind the stone around its full groove around the midsection. This tool was used for the meat-pounding stage of making pemmican, an essential foodstuff for Southern Plains Indians during the cold winter months that consisted of fat, meat dried to a near-brittle form, and berries. After drying long strips of meat, an individual would pulverize it until it was nearly powdery. Then, the powder was mixed with animal fat and different varieties of berries to provide families with both fat and protein for wintery sustenance. Size: 18.875" L x 6.25" W (47.9 cm x 15.9 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired in 2018; ex-Tulsa Arms Show, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA; ex-Dick Hewlitt collection, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
