Ceremonial Mace - Other Maces

Other Maces

• The mace of the Cork guilds, made by Robert Goble of Cork in 1696 for the associated guilds of which he had been master, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum also has a large silver mace dating to the middle of the 18th century, with the arms of Pope Benedict XIV. This mace is said to have been used at the coronation of Napoleon as king of Italy at Milan in 1805.
• Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks also had a ceremonial mace, called a bulava.
