It's a pre-health and safety baby rattle. If you google 'wooden toy mace' it comes up with a lot of very similar items.

That's clearly a practice mace for Toddler Knights!

Beaten to it...

Beaten to it...

Don't worry we'll probably both get told off by the purists for not calling it a morning star
