Somewhere deep in the archive there are scans old book drawings of stone clubs , hammers and mallets from South American, Peru and Bolivia. Not ancient pieces but 19th century. The stone heads are attached with hide to the side of a wood haft. I cannot find them but some members have them, possibly in Oldman catalogs. Would be so kind to show them again please.

I don't have scans of old book drawings, but do you mean this kind?
Stone ax blade set in, glued, and then bound to the side of a robust shaft. |

I cannot find anything in Oldman from that part of the world. These are from the British Museum's "Handbook to the Ethnographical collections" Regards Roy |

Thank you Roy. You show an example I was looking for. In my mind there are more but I could be wrong.

I have heard of these and even seen some pictures, but not much written as far as I can see.
