Flanged Mace
View through Harvard Museums
The head of the mace is comprised of nine steel flanges, with ornamental edges, that are welded to the steel haft. Traces of copper can be found on some of the flanges, suggesting that the mace head may have been gilded. The finial is embossed in the form of a lotus. The haft is made of a single piece of steel with an embossed, twisted pattern.
