介绍（中）	这种礼仪狼牙棒是完全由水晶制成的罕见例子。水晶经常被雕刻成生产豪华物品，包括伊斯兰的，也许是法蒂玛的狼牙棒，成为匈牙利王室王室的一部分。已知几个分离的水晶狼牙棒头像，其中大都会博物馆收藏的可能是十至十一世纪的伊朗例子（编号1981.86）。这根狼牙棒很可能来自莫卧儿印度，其装饰风格与现在伦敦华莱士收藏的几根印度狼牙棒和斧头（编号 1563 和 1595）相同。一个非常相似的卵形头像出现在1880年的全钢印度狼牙棒上，现在在伦敦哈利利收藏（编号MTW 1130）。然而，卵形并不局限于印度;布哈拉也知道类似的狼牙棒头。卵形狼牙棒头像的早期例子存在，可能来自十一世纪或十二世纪，其中包括瓦杜兹Furusiyya艺术基金会的塞尔柱狼牙棒（编号R-101）。这很可能是最初来自布哈拉的莫卧儿人进口到印度的中亚类型。这个例子的水晶轴装饰的堕落的鼠尾草叶子排除了可追溯到十七世纪莫卧儿艺术的盛大时期。因此，建议将日期定为更晚的日期，暂时定为十八世纪。
介绍（英）	This ceremonial mace is a rare example fashioned entirely from rock crystal. Rock crystal was often carved to produce luxurious objects, including an Islamic, perhaps Fatimid, mace that became part of the Hungarian royal regalia. Several detached rock-crystal mace heads are known, among them a probably tenth- to eleventh-century Iranian example in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. no. 1981.86). Most likely from Mughal India, this mace has a haft that is decorated in a style found on several Indian maces and axes now in the Wallace Collection, London (nos. 1563 and 1595). A very similar ovoid head is on an all-steel Indian mace dated 1880 and now in the Khalili Collection, London (no. MTW 1130). The ovoid shape, however, is not confined to India; similar mace heads are known from Bukhara as well. Much earlier examples of ovoid mace heads exist, probably from the eleventh or twelfth century, among them a Seljuq mace in the Furusiyya Art Foundation, Vaduz (no. R-101). It is likely that this is a Central Asian type imported into India by the Mughals, who originally came from Bukhara. The debased acanthus leaves with which the rock-crystal shaft of this example is decorated preclude a dating to the grand period of Mughal art during the seventeenth century. Consequently a later dating, provisionally to the eighteenth century, is suggested.
