Ibrahimm, that image also contains individual descriptions.

Various Indo-Persian maces, from left: Bozdogan/buzdygan (Ottoman), tabar-shishpar (Indian), shishpar (Indian), shishpar (unknown), gurz (Indian), shishpar (Indian).

Describing items as "Indo-Persian" is no different than when you have maces from Europe and you say "European" maces. Indo-Persian is just a way to group items together, it is an internet tag word that is picked up by search engines. It is very helpful when searching online.
