Macehead from Nuzi Temple Courtyard Room G50, Stratum II
View through Harvard Museums
Smooth, bulbous macehead with central shaft. The central, drilled shaft is smooth and straight and presumably allowed the macehead to be affixed to a handle. The object was broken in half vertically but has been repaired. The photograph shows the macehead's underside.
