Pre-Columbian Inca Copper Mace Heads (pr)

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Central Peru, Inca Empire, ca. 1400 to 1532 CE. A fine pair of cast-copper mace heads, each of a circular form with a sizeable, central hafting hole. The larger presents a smooth exterior, while the outside surface of the smaller head has been pressed with a textile to create a light stippling effect in areas. The minimalist design of these weapons suggest they were used on the fields of battle rather than in ceremonial contexts. Size (of larger): 1.8" in diameter x 1.4" H (4.6 cm x 3.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-Drimmer collection, Florida, USA, acquired before 1965
