About the Item

Native American Missouri war axe. Pewter blade with inlayed brass weeping heart on one side and crescent moon on other. Vame from an Osage family in Pahuska, Oklahoma. Spontoon style is credited as the "last true weapon" that was used during the Indian War Period 1860s - 1870s. Most samples are credited towards Sioux and Comanche however Oklahoma and the Quapaw would be directly between the two. Without much adornment, we assume this piece was a "user."
