Highly decorated medieval (?) french two hand mace

Dear Michael,

the barrel you show is a very nice one. Thanks for sharing. But in my eyes there is a large difference between your piece and the mace. If you compare your pictures to the detailed ones of the mace, the "carvings" of the latter one are more vague and also there is this seam with its little misregistration, which in my sense clearly speaks for a cast iron product.

Best regards,
Andreas
