This hand-colored woodcut print showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Native American tribes in North America. Titled "NATI2A-00100" this artwork beautifully depicts two traditional Mohawk weapons: a deer-shank tomahawk and a scalping knife. The intricate details of the illustration transport us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples in what is now known as New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other Eastern states. The tomahawk's bone handle and stone blade represent the resourcefulness and ingenuity of these ancient civilizations.
