Maciejowski War Club

The Maciejowski Bible continues to be a fascinating source for arms and armor of the mid-13th Century. Some of the weapons portrayed are nothing more than big cleavers, while others are more prosaic, like this wooden war club. Approximately 40" overall, and made from hardwood, the club was made more effective by brass studs along the length of the head. Weighing in at about 3 lbs., it could be swung with one hand, but was much more effective when using both. The blows it could deliver would crush helmets, batter shields and break bones with equal ease. The handle is wrapped with spiral leather cord to improve the grip, and has a round buttcap. Not exactly a dainty piece, but extremely effective.
