Depends on how strong the person wielding it was. Yep, it's a Chinese mace.

The one thing of interest is the dragon guard and dragons along the head. That makes me think that it was a temple weapon, and perhaps more for show.

Problem with that idea is that I've seen very few Chinese maces, and I've definitely never seen one used in a temple.

Neat object!
