Native Americans first used stone, wood
and bone to make smokehawks. Iron hawks were provided by the French and
English traders. The pipe bowl or smokehawk was a prized possession for
the native american warrior. The design and decoration of the tomahawk
gave power and meaning to the owner. This particular example is ready
to smoke (approximately 19"L) with a hand-forged iron head featuring
the classic "Weeping Heart" design. Crafted with Mink Fur, Turkey Tail
Feathers, Bone Beads, Blue Chevron Beads, Hardwood Handle, Old Style
Brass, Hen Feathers, Brass Tacks and Wool.
