18th Century Mace From The Bundi Arsenal, Hadoti region of Rajasthan

The eight shaped flanges are attached to the head, which narrows into a large & intimidating protruding spike. The barley twist shaft spins onto the tangs & guard which still retains the silver and gold koftgari script decorations which continue along onto the pommel and extended grip.

The guard is padded with fine woven silk.
