Native American Buckskin Beaded Wood Tomahawk by Curtis Bitsui 1222-NC
Native American Buckskin Beaded Wood Tomahawk by Bitsui
This Tomahawk is a great hand-made artifact made by Navajo Indian artist Curtis Bitsui. The head of this tomahawk was made from cast iron. The genuine buckskin leather wrapped around the handle gives this artifact added natural character. The handle has also been wrapped in genuine rabbit fur with some impressive blue and red seed bead work near the head. A braided leather strap through the end of the handle allow this tomahawk to be strung through a belt or hung on a wall. Genuine fur, feathers, and trade beads give this one extra detail. The length of this artifact is 16". It was hand-crafted by a true Native American artist. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!
