Description

This hand-forged iron tomahawk or trade axe features a head with a characteristic teardrop-shaped eye, secured to a dark-stained hardwood handle by a tapered friction fit. An incised mark in the shape of a small downward-pointing triangle is present on one side of the blade. This mark is a simple geometric device and does not contain legible characters, letters, or a maker’s name.
