Ancient Northwest Coast Stone Club Estimated A.D. to Pre-European Contact

About the Item

Ancient Northwest Coast Stone Club estimated A.D. to Pre-European Contact. This is an exceptional ethnological treasure of great aesthetic quality and rarity. The stone club is carved from slate rock in an abstract shape and was used by Indigenous peoples, the earliest known inhabitants of the area Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Estimated dates for Northwest Coast stone clubs range from 500 B.C. to European Contact. They were made in a wide variety of sizes and designs and were used for hunting, combat fighting or for ritual activities. It is suggested that this club may be a ceremonial implement. This skilfully crafted club has re-curved edges and it is beautifully polished with a great patina through handling over the course of about 2000 years. It comes with a professional iron museum display stand. Measurements: L 21 ½” x H 5” x D 1” Weight: 4 ½ lbs.

It was made in Kashan in the 12th-early 13th century, Seljuk- Atabeg period. Kashan was an important center for the production of high quality pottery and tiles. Lustre ware was among the most innovative development of Kashan potters, who mixed silver sulfides and copper oxides to create a shiny copper toned metallic sheen on the surface of glazed earthenware bowls, plates and vessels.
