Description: | Steel mace with Indian basket hilt and twisted shaft with head of two sets of eight flanges. The hilt guard pierced, and with a short tilted spike. The grip, the pommel and the langet decorated with chiselled floral designs and the cross-guard is quite short with round pommels in the shape of a flower. The shaft is flattened near the hilt and riveted to the cross-guard; round in the middle section with five smaller decorated round sections and a long twisted section followed by smaller decorated round sections. Shaft is attached to two sets of flanges, the upper one small with spiked ends, the other has larger flanges with semi-circular shapes. At the bottom of the flanges a strawberry-shaped finial with ten segments is fixed to the flanges. Decoration typical of that from Tanjore on Indian South East coast.
