Description: | Medieval fragment of mace-head, circular (approximate diameter 55-60mm, high lead content, weight 19.32), V-shaped remains of one end, broken on one side across small perforation for nail or rivet, heavily cast remains of two substantial blunt triangular projections. Height >31mm. See discussion in Medieval Archaeology (2005), 334, 336 and 7, fig.5, closest to a. There are at least two other examples from Norfolk, one from Burgh with Tuttington (HER 33592) and the other from Saham Toney (HER 34101). A broadly similar 'probably medieval' example from Ireland is illustrated in Evans (1881 The Ancient Bronze Objects, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain and Ireland fig.341) and parallels are known from Scandinavia, Russia, Central Europe and the Balkans.
