American Frontier Tomahawk Pipe

Pipe tomahawks are artifacts unique to North America, created by Europeans as trade objects but often exchanged as diplomatic gifts.They were symbols of the choice Europeans and Native Americans faced whenever they met: one end was the pipe of peace, the other an axe of war.

This reproduction of a historical tomahawk pipe has a handle uniquely wrapped with spiked brass bands.

Tomahawks were used as both weapons and ceremonial objects and were created in an astonishing variety of shapes. Some were plain, and some were ornate, but they were all used by Native Americans for war, torture, trade, and ritual, including sealing treaties and alliances.

This representation of America's past is fully functional, with a head forged of high carbon steel and a hand-carved wooden handle featuring hand-embellished linework. This reproduction displays a handle uniquely wrapped with studded brass bands. This is a functional pipe with a drilled handle
