Item Description

A late 19th early 20th Century carved hardwood effigy head likely of Iroquois origin. The carving fits comfortably in the hand and has been neatly cut at the base revealing the hardwood grain, possibly Walnut or Black Walnut. The carving depicts the full head of a man with well defined eye sockets, nose and lips and has a large top knot carved with a chevron design on the front. The effigy resembles the handles of certain Sioux “Dance Tappers” which were wood carvings with rings used in dances and rituals, as seen in the book “Plains Indian Sculpture” by John C. Evers.
Condition: Overall condition is good with acceptable age/time related patina. There are traces of old brown and red paint, likely added at a later time and either purposely removed or time worn.
The Effigy head measures 4.5” high by 1.25” wide by 1.25” deep.
