Ceremonial Mace Head from Nuzi Palace Courtyard G50, Stratum II
View through Harvard Museums
Smooth, bulbous macehead with central shaft. Complete except for a small area of loss near the base. The central shaft was drilled lengthwise from the top and the bottom, presumably to affix the macehead to a handle. The drilled shaft-holes are of unequal length and slightly misaligned.
