Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started. I just want to thank everyone who replied about finding images of maces, in particular the bull's head mace.  Some of the most useful links were:

I heard from several people far more knowledgeable about maces than I am, and I appreciate the sharing very much.  Ashoka Arts has graciously supplied the perfect bull’s head mace (see attachment). The mace is from Persia, Qajar period, 19th century, steel construction damascened with silver, according to Stefan at Ashoka.

Sincere thanks to all, and thank goodness for ARLIS-L and the Web! -
