Plains stone axe for ?ing

I have it now 31 inches top to end of haft. Hide covered whipy flex stick. Coarse horse hair tassle, sewn hide with fine multi strand horse hair. It has a "fake"? collection number 17P on the stone. Is it a fake just because it is made of simple natural materials? Is it a fake because it looks aged? Is it a fake because people still knap stone? As a sculptor used to making "art work" I would be most impressed by somebody could get the inside spaces to look the way they do but that is just my opinion. It is not a big heavy weapon. All I can say is that if a warrior can running at me or at speed on horse back, and struck me with it. I would probably not be standing up again.

It may not be from the Northern Plains but saying that the plains are huge and there is no law that says all clubs are this or that form.

Anyway here it is. You can pay more for an obvious fantasy piece to hang with your dream catcher.
