Rare precolumbian Mochica bronze mace / sceptre
An extremely rare bronze macehead or battle sceptre, 200 BC-200 AD.

Very important and possible the finest known in the world of this integrated zoomorphic mace head.

The mace consists of three parts - a top-piece with three zoomorphic figures - a massive middle part shaped as a chieftain or warriour w. azurite inlaid eyes - and a bottom piece, which is the typical starshaped mace form. All pieces are guaranteed ancient and belonged together, wooden shaft now missing. Costum quality display - metal foot and plexi stand. A very beautyful antiquity, pictures does not really do it justice!

Size: 44 cm. when mounted to the stand.

Ex. very important Danish Private collection, cleared for export.
