Cast copper alloy mace head |

| Description |
English: Cast copper alloy mace head which is slightly damaged at one end.
A hollow cylindrical socket with 3 rows of conical spikes. Each row has 4 spikes around the socket, they are not all in the same place. One end of the mace has broken off and so one spike is missing. The ends of the socket have been smoothed and the broken end appears to have incise diagonal lines, possibly as decoration. The socket is the same diamter all the way along. This mace head is a development from having metal spikes inserted into the head of a wooden club. It would have slotted onto the end of the club. Similar examples have been found in Ireland over the years (Halpin, in Mac Niocall and Wallace, 1988- p168-200), see no. 19 (p186, Fig.5) as the best comparison. A lot of these mentioned in this paper are not from well dated contexts or provenances but on the basis of research outside of Ireland the author is fairly confident that a Medieval date can be ascribed to this object type (ibid. p168). |
