The Met Museum has some Persian prints showing several types of mace being used in battle, I thought this would be a good thread to add them to. Images of maces being carried and used are hard to find.


From the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Shah Tahmasp. Author: Abu'l Qasim Firdausi (935–1020). Artist: Painting attributed to Qadimi (active ca. 1525–65). Folio from an illustrated manuscript.

Links to full sized images, lots of battle scenes.
