Ornamental polearm heads, maces, and a war-hammer
A sheet of ceremonial pole-arm and mace designs
The sheet gathers a dozen or so studies of ornate weapon heads: leaf-bladed spearheads and polearm heads with recurved flukes, several maces with crown-like flanged collars, and a large war-hammer with a squared hammer face and back-spike at the upper centre. One mace at the right carries a tall domed finial on a turned shaft. A blue strip along the top edge preserves the offset of an adjacent leaf. No transcribed text accompanies the bundle; a folio mark and a library stamp appear at the upper right but are not transcribed here.

War-hammer with hammer face and back-spike
At the upper centre a heavy war-hammer or bec-de-corbin head is drawn with a squared striking face opposed by a curved back-spike, mounted on a socketed collar. The form is that of a close-combat impact weapon.
Spearheads and maces with flanged collars
Several slender spearheads and polearm heads with paired recurved flukes are shown alongside maces whose heads open into crown-like flanges. A mace at the right terminates in a tall domed finial on a turned haft.
Foliate and interlace decoration
Foliate palmette bases, crown-flange crests, and interlaced lattice motifs turn the heads into decorative designs rather than plain arms. The ornament is concentrated at the collars and crests of the blades.
