Description: | Disc shaped granite macehead, broken. 86mm in diameter. The disc shaped macehead seems to have been generally earlier than the pear-shaped macehead. Both date from the Predynastic to the Early Dynastic (4000-3000 B.C.) and are found in graves. Gift from University of Wales Aberystwyth. See Gilbert, G.P. 2004 'Weapons, warriors and warfare in Early Egypt' for information on maceheads and Needler, W.
