Made in four sections and joined internally with hand cut steel screw thread. The entire piece is then mercurial gilded with real gold. This type of mace known as a Soota or souta was usually carried by a Soota berdar as part of the regalia of a Maharaja. A similar example was sold by Christies in October 2011 in south Kensington for GBP 13,750.
