RITUALS OF CONVOCATION

The Ceremonial Mace directly coming from medieval tournaments and combat, symbolizes a University's authority to confer degrees.
This authority is exercised by the University's Chancellor for whom the Mace is conceived.

The Mace depicted here goes directly to Gothic roots by the necessarily inverted ogive shaped arcs of its lobes.

This Mace is long enough - 48 inches - to be carried on the shoulder and while the pole section should be around 2 inches diameter, steel does not require heat treatment. Each of the eight blades should be about 1/8 inch at insertion and should be almost touching each other.

More specifications will be presented in terms of steel finish. Either nickel silver bath, fully polished and sealed, or antiqued.
