P. Predynastic, Nagada II – III, 3600 – 3100 BC.

Material: Stone.

Dimensions: 6 cm Height and 14 cm Height with the stand.

PROVENANCE: Private collection, Paris, France. Acquired in the art market during the last 30 years.

The mace was a favourite weapon in warfare and was also used as a ceremonial weapon by the kings, as evidenced by the countless scenes and reliefs depicting the king smiting Egypt's enemies with a huge mace. Both disc- shaped and pear- shaped mace heads were used in pre-historic Egypt but the disc- shape later went out of use while pear- shaped mace heads are often found in many graves.
