Description

This mace with the original spear point has a metal tip and a wooden shaft decorated with red-dyed horsehair. The tin handle has a hollowed bulb. The wooden shaft has many holes that appear to be a result of insects. The horsehair is tied on using a thin cotton cord dyed the same color red.
