wood (maple), metal, glass,

Ball-headed club with mirrors encased or framed internally on either side of the ball head. Handle unelaborated except for a protrusion with a tie hole below the grip. Ball head was sliced and opened on either side to insert mirrors, and then reassembled. Each hemisphere of the ball contains a circular glass mirror. A short trianglur-shaped iron blade is inserted at the front of the head, secured by wooden shims on either side; circles on the ball around the mirrors are painted dark green. The shaft is uncharacteristically straight, as opposed to curved. There is no distinct handle, but there is a bump with a bored hole about 1 inch from the end of the handle on the lower side of the shaft.

Inscribed initials: "LK" in script.

AC thinks this is a weapon, not a dance club. DP thinks this might be related to Sioux dance clubs with mirrors due to the fact that Wisconsin Anishnaabe were closely associated with Sioux. According to Pohrt, probably carried as a dance club.

AC: Have seen several with mirrors before, but not Anishnaabe (one gunstock club at McCord, the other at NMNH).
