Hello with all.
I bought these objects with one talwar.
I believe that are religious objects.

early to mid - 19th Persian proccesion axe and persian parade mace depicting a demon both probably quajar period.

Nice items, especially the mace, beautifully made horns.

Ehm.. Galvano, where do you come from? You bring extremely nice stuff almost every day, thank you for sharing

Qajar revival pieces. Mace has a demonic head that depicts one of the heros of Shah-name - Gorz.

div = demon in Persian or Turkish. "Gorz" is a proper given name.
