Knives and pipe hawk.  The neck knife is the same as the one above, pipe axe head is from the casting by RE Davis Co; finished and hafted by me.  Both knives made by me; the "scalper" has an ochre painted octagon handle, partial tang, and iron pins.

See the paintings of Syacust Ukah and Cunne Shotte for period images with similar weapons.

At right, my atassa, a Southeastern War Club

Roughed out with band saw, finished with shoe rasp and cabinet scraper. Burnished with bone tool.  Heat treated with torch. Stained with pecan hull goo, then waxed and oiled.  32" long. This is intended as a piece used in displays to contrast to the more common weapons used post-contact.  The piece is based on items appearing on Mississippian shell gorgets.  In these "Hawk Man" sometimes carries a notched war club, or atassa as it is called in Swanton.  See the "War Clubs" page in the Documentation section or Swanton's The Indians of the Southeastern United States for further information  There are similar notched Atassa on the roof of Creek square ground arbors, also called "clan bed shelters" from Bartram's sketch.
