Penobscot Style Carved Wooden Clubs | Native American Folk Art | Hand-Carved Painted Wood | Pair

A powerful pair of hand-carved wooden clubs in the Penobscot style, featuring elongated red-painted handles with leaf motifs and heavily textured, knotted heads accented with horn-like projections in yellow and earth tones.

The form, carving style, and surface treatment are consistent with Penobscot-inspired clubs, often made in the 20th century for cultural expression, teaching, or collection rather than active use. These pieces emphasize sculptural presence and symbolic design over weaponry, and are best understood as folk art or cultural objects.

Sold as a matched pair, tied together with a leather cord as found.
