The top of the quirt shows three solid square shank old brass trade tacks and the base of the quirt shows a hand drilled pierced hole which would have held a beaded wrist throng at one time. The antler has a dark yellow to red brown patina coloring from honest age and use with ridges of the antler being worn smooth along most of the piece and a heavy weight overall. The Indian Wars era piece shows well preserved condition and displays excellently. Museum collection number E1048.
