Sayala Mace

The Sayala Mace or Seyala Mace is a ceremonial mace made of gold plated wood and stone, from Predynastic Egypt (Naqada IIIa, c.3200 BC).〔Günter Dreyer, "Motive und Datierung der dekorierten prädynastischen Messergriffe." Paris 1999, p. 201–202.〕 It was found by Cecil Mallaby Firth in 1910/11 at Sayala in Lower Nubia and subsequently kept in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo until it was stolen in 1920.〔Helene J. Kantor, ''The Final Phase of Predynastic Culture,'' p. 129.〕 Its later fate is unknown. The mace is especially significant for the detailed depictions of animals on its handle.
== Discovery ==
The mace was found by Cecil Mallaby Firth during the 1910/11 season of excavations in Sayala in Grave 1 of Cemetery 137. The grave, which probably belonged to the local ruler, had already been plundered, but still contained many grave goods, which had been crammed into one corner of the grave. These consisted of stone and ceramic artefacts: a rose quartz head of a lion, a cosmetic palette, copper chisels and hatchets, and the remnants of two ceremonial maces. The maceheas in breccia or rose quartz survived, as well as the gold plating of the lost wooden handle. Both sets of gold plating had horizontal ribbing on the lower part. There was no other decoration on one of the sets of gold plating, but that of the Sayala Mace had detailed images of animals (see below).
Firth made the grave and its contents known in a preliminary report of 1911. In this publication he included the first sketch of the mace.〔Cecil M. Firth, "The Archaeological Survey of Nubia" ''Bulletin'' 7 (1911): 13–14, 18.〕 However a detailed description, containing photographs did not appear until 1927.〔Cecil M. Firth, ''The Archaeological Survey of Nubia. Report for 1910-1911.'' Government Press, Cairo 1927, pp. 204–208.〕 In the meanwhile, the Sayala Mace had been stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1920.〔Helene J. Kantor, ''The Final Phase of Predynastic Culture,'' p. 129.〕
