as to the figural maces, there is a bull with cup as well that is of similar quality of the other cup pieces from late 19th century-early 20th century . The ones without cup are earlier.

Thank you Trajan. This information is very useful.
Thanks,

Do you mean the thing with dolphins and a lion head and a cheurb? face?

If so I have no idea what it is. Is it martial? it is showy. It looks like bone? carved like a hoof at the end? Dolphins do not strike as an image of universal military borish bombast.

Perhaps something to do with the church?
