Guyana Keule "macana" Holz, schwarzer polierter Stein, Schnurmaterial Eine frühe Beschreibung dieser Art von Kriegskeule stammt von Kapitän Stedman, der sich in den Jahren 1772 bis 1777 in Niederländisch-Guyana aufhielt: "(...) Ein Schlag mit solch einer Keule, in der häufig ein scharfer Stein befestigt ist, zerstreut das Gehirn. Sie werden von den Guyana-Indianern wie der Tomahawk von den Cherokee benutzt, auf dem sie neben anderen hieroglyphischen Figuren oft die Zahl der im Kampf Erschlagenen einritzen." (Stedman, 1796, p. 397) Mass: L: 41 cm Provenance: Arno Henseler, Munich, Germany Lit.: Stedman, John G., Narrative, of a five years' expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam, in Guiana on the Wild Coast of South America, London 1796, p. 397
