Well, it certainly resembles the ball end of a medieval mace, but I think it's too large for that. There would be some evidence of a way to attach a chain to it, also--to the iron band. Maybe it was some kind of projectile, as suggested in an earlier post. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Not many "what is this" threads stump the forum for 3 pages. If iron was available the wood could be intentional. Buoyancy perhaps? ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||

Ok, a fellow has told me it's used to break up chain mail when it's gotten corroded. I suppose in a tub, sack or something like that. I don't know for certain myself but that makes some sense. The guy said he hasn't seen one in a long long time.like he's seen one before. | |||

I don't know what it I, but your original guess was the same as mine. Reminded me of this great scene from one of my favorite movies, lol:  | |||

If the band has no attachment points on it, then it's purpose is the reinforce the wood. This might mean it is subject to forces during use. Possibly put into a tumbling vat to dehair hides? Seems too aggressive for that, and would damage the hides. | |||
