The decorative complexity of the present mace suggests it is part of a group of maces which can be attributed to the Deccan, 17th or 18th century. Two other examples in this group are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (36.25.1874 and 36.149.3) and a fine watered steel example in a private collection (Bashir Mohamed, Arms and Armour of the Muslim Knight, vol.3, 2025, pp.62-63).
