The Halfmoon, star or circular cutouts pre-date the weeping hear cutouts which didn’t appear on tomahawk blade until the 1840-1850’s. This design of Missouri War Axe is very documented with the piece being very similar to the example in the hands of Sauk & Fox Chief “Bear in the Forks of a Tree” as shown in the Karl Bodmer painting from the 1830’s (a digital image is shown for comparison). The head has old forging nicks and dings and is secured onto the hard wood haft handle with old hide gaskets and two old square head iron nails pounded in through each side of the eyelet hold (an early manner of securing the head to the haft, not often seen). The wooden haft is original and has yellow ocher mineral pigment paint which ahs faded to a lighter hue over time and has flaked off some from age & use. The term "Missouri War Axe" was coined by American Indian weapons collectors to describe this particular style of tomahawk. They were first discovered by Lewis & Clark on their 1804-1805 expedition financed by Thomas Jefferson, which sent them exploring up the upper Missouri River basin. Meriwether Lewis wrote about these weapons and sketched one in his journal, stating that the local Indians were fervently requesting the expedition blacksmith to make additional examples for them. He went as far as to state that it was the only item the Indians were willing to trade corn, grain and other expedition necessities for and that manufacture and trade of additional axes is what solely got the explorers through the winter of 1805. Provenance: From a prominent War Axe Collection, the very same collection as the Mandan Missouri War Axe that sold in our 4/27/2019 sale for $12,500. Overall the piece measures 20 inches long and shows a head that is 8 ½ inches by 5 ½ inches wide across the bottom of the wide, flaring blade.

Osage War Shield Polychrome Painted c. 1860-1870

Lot #231 (Sale Order 252 of 501)

This is a rare Southern Plains war shield attributed to the Osage Indians of Oklahoma and dating to circa 1860-1870’s. According to Bailey and Swan in “Art of the Osage” (2004), Osage shields were strictly used in battle and were never used in dances or ceremonies, not even during the reservation period. The Osage revered their war shields, more so than any other tribe; with each design and painted motif, adornments meaning something special to the owner. This extraordinary example is made of thinned cut Buffalo parfleche hide sewn together and wetted and stretched over a bent twig frame. The original arm strap is still intact but is in fragile condition. The shield shows some staining and wear from age and use. The piece shows mineral pigment polychrome painted with symbols in colors such as yellow, green, blue and red in black borders which is consistent of other documented art styles found on authentic, period correct Osage shields utilizing designs in concentric circles and flaring war paths. A few examples of Osage shields using motifs with concentric circles in the center are included digitally for comparison. At the center of the shield and the concentric design shows a drop of hair with hide lacing which is thought to be human hair. Flanking the hair drop at the center shows two trade clothe strips tied on and a strip of old green and white stripped trade clothe is attached at the top edge of the shield, an old style seen on many Osage Tomahawk handles, shields and peace pipe handles. Provenance: Collected in the late 1940’s directly from the Osage family at Pawhuska, Oklahoma which is the heart of the Osage Nation. From the ec-collection of Forest Fenn and Mark Francis. This is truly a fine authentic war shield showing very well-preserved condition with honest patina and wear. The shield measures overall 19 ½ inches across.

Provenance: The piece was purchased by the current collector at the spring Tulsa Gun & Antique Weapon Show in 2009 from dealers and collectors Reggie Roberts and Walter Earl.
