| | køllehoved | Explanation:
Termen "køllehoved" er fundet på baggrund af bl.a. billedsøgninger af både Narmers og Skorpion-kongens køllehoveder (Narmer's mace head / Scorpion's mace head). Eksempler på Narmer-billeder nedenfor.
Så vidt jeg kunne læse mig frem til, er der ingen, der med sikkerhed ved, hvad et "mace head" blev brugt til - altså hvad dens funktion var.
Måske kaldes det et køllehoved på dansk, fordi det til dels minder om de køllehoveder fra stenalderen, som er blevet fundet på dansk jord?
Spændende emne. |
