Description. ?
According to : "is a longer and thinner mace with a small head. This Mace is measured on its wielder in such a way that when they hold the head in their hand the end of the handle sits under their armpit. This allows the Mace to be concealed up the sleeve and then quickly dropped down to the hand for the Assassination strike. This weapon is much faster and lighter than a war mace and designed for subterfuge." It could refer to this weapon. But there is also another weapon refered to as assasin's mace: "Tie Jian, also known simply as Jian. Tie Jian is occasionally used as a throwing weapon, which gives rise to the idiom "Sa Shou Jian (撒手鐧, lit. 'Cast away Jian')" that later corrupted into "Sha Shou Jian (殺手鐧, lit. 'Killing hand Jian', also translated as 'Assassin's mace')"."
