The metal nail head is embedded in underside of ball( formed from a burl)
Other Notes
The ball of this club is held in the jaws of an animal, probably a bear or a wolf, in a metaphor of power analogous to the grasping talons seen on clubs in the Grant Collection. A zigzag line issues from the animal's right eye and this image suggests that jagged lines were used to represent not only the lightning of the Thunderbirds but the forces of the manitos in general (Patterns of Power).
