I might be mistaken, but have some doubt whether this is a club.
Reason: the lower or bottom part of the handle looks quite thin for a clubbing waepon. It might break easily when used with force on a non-soft object... Hence my thought it to be a kind / type of statue-like or ceremonial object. But then again as stated, I might be wrong... |

Usually the effigy war clubs are from the Penobscot, occasionally Plains. Those are also usually recent. This doesn't look Penobscot nor Native American.
Also I would agree with a more recent manufacture. |
