Original Indo-Persian 19th Century All Steel Ceremonial Bull's Head Mace - Circa 1820 ZB 26-ZB 30 The Chamelot-Delvigne 11mm Modele 1873Original Item: Only One Available. Measuring 29" Overall, this Ceremonial Mace depicts a "Bull's Head" with horns. Constructed entirely of steel, but light construction, the Bull has ventilated nostrils and also ope ears allowing air to pass through unobstructed. Apparently when wielded a whistling sound would emanate from the Bull's Head apparently striking terror into the opponent. This is not very convincing, however this was well recorded so
