So you're talking about bishop Oddone, Duke Wilhelm's brother! He's wielding a Mediterranean style mace, an iron flanged one, like these you can find in many Arabic Museums. The Duke himself wields a "baculus", the Latin term for club, which is a stasus symbol that has very ancient origins (Greeks and early Italic people used it, just think about Hercules' olive club). It's not so hard to make such a mace especially if you use bronze for it. Actually, I'm going to make an iron one, but still have to find the right ingot. Greetings, Mauro.
