Description

Beaded cow horn club. The head is made of two cow horns with the tips pointing outward from the centre. A piece of checked fabric in yellow, white and dark purple is wrapped around the centre where the horns join. Furred hide is wrapped around the fabric, and white feathers are attached at top. The handle is covered in small glass beads of white, black, dark blue and orange. Two strips of hide hang from the bottom of the handle and join at their distal ends, edged in green and orange beads, with transparent beads decorating the centre. At the bottom is a finely cut leather tassel.
