This lot is a production sample of a mini-mace holding produced for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The mace is a 14-inch-tall walnut pillar that is one inch in diameter at the base and flares out to 2.625 inches in diameter at the top. A bronze cap protects the bottom end. At the top is mounted a 2.75-inch bronze medallion with a bas-relief image of Pat Neff Hall on one side and a portrait of James Buckins, regarded as one of the three founding fathers of Baylor, on the reverse. A ceremonial academic mace is a symbol of the authority and respect for the highest ranks of leadership at a school of higher learning. Typically a mace is carried at the front of a commencement procession of faculty and administrators ahead of the line of potential graduates, and it represents the office of the chancellor or president of the institution. In larger universities made up of multiple colleges and large departments, each college or department may be represented by its own mini-mace as that group enters the commencement venue. This was unsold material that remained after the liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint.
