I'm doing a school project...?

its for social studies and my friend gave me an idea of what i should do. the subject is medieval times- the middle ages, and she told me to make something. its a weapon that has a handle like one side of a numchuck, then connected to that by a chain is a ball with spikes on it. i also need to write a paragraph on it, so i need to know what its called.

Mace - Average Length: Approx. 3 to 4 feet. Type of weapon: Close Hand-to-Hand. Commonly used by: Macemen. This weapon was a very powerful one, requiring great strength to wield. It usually consisted essentially of a large metal ball with spikes protruding from it, which was mounted on a shaft of metal or, less commonly, wood. There were many variations including a wooden stick with a spike driven through it, but this was most popular. (The Morning Star was a popular version, too. It was usually mounted on a wooden shaft and it was longer than the mace.). It was very heavy, but its spikes could pierce armour and it was a very deadly weapon.

It is called a MACE. Very popular weapon in the medieval times. Still know today as the most dangerous ancient weapon.
