Descrizione : Egypt, pre-Dynastic/Naqada II period, ca. 3500 to 3000 BCE. A pair of globular stone mace heads that fit pleasingly in the palm of your hand. The larger mace has a lovely mottled olive green and beige surface polished smooth with a hand drilled perforation through the center. The other is a black stone with a polished surface and a slightly more tapered piriform body with a central perforation as well. These were likely mounted on a wooden pole or shaft and were possibly designed for status and ceremony and not for battle. Mace heads shaped like these have been found in Naqada II tombs of both men and women and they may be an indication of the authority of the buried person, but little is certain about this very early period in Egyptian history. Lucite stand for photography purposes only. Size of larger mace: 2.54 W x 2 H (6.5 cm x 5.1 cm) Provenance: ex- Sotheby's, New York Antiquities auction (June 7, 2005, part of lot 122), ex-private German collection, owned since 1980 All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
