Here is a reference to Indian spiked maces from "Weapon: A Visual History of Arms and Armor", Oct 2, 2006. I have no idea were this info came from originally.
Spiked mace. "The grip of the spikes prevented curved armor from deflecting blows."
Another reference from "Arms and Armour: Traditional Weapons of India", E. Jaiwant Paul, 2005.
"The spiked mace was particularly effective against the helmet."
