Description from the seller
Horseshoe dance club made of poplar wood decorated with 19th-century iron and brass upholsterer's boullettes (some missing), connected to a deer antler handle by a copper ferrule. The wooden part is cracked and has several wormholes. From the collection of a cultural anthropologist who conducted several research missions in North America from the 1950s to the first quarter of this century. These clubs were used in dances and shamanic rituals. Unfortunately, no documentation survives on the area of origin. Undetermined group.
