content: Stone hammer. Head of large river cobble, wooden handle covered with rawhide secured with sinew stitching. 17.5" (44 cm). Records: Old club. Hawgone obtained it from an old woman, Peagoodle (the Indian name for their valise or trunk?), Choka's wife's mother. She had it for a long time; picked it out of a spring and used it for breaking buffalo bones. The old buffalo handle had worn out and she had replaced it with cow-hide of later years. (C). Associated names: Hawgone; Peagoodle. (from Merrill, William L. et al. 1997. A Guide to the Kiowa Collections at the Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology, no. 40.
