NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Ahead of the Opening of the Legal Year next week, the judiciary is taking a significant step this year to refurbish one of its symbols, the Supreme Court mace.
As local artist Kishan Munroe explains, the traditional symbol had a significant bend at the shaft, he says he had to begin by taking it apart.
The Supreme Court mace was built in 1921 and is a neo-georgian design.
When we visited his workspace in late December, Munroe was hard at work, using a small torch to fill in a hole in the brass surface with a small flame.
Munroe explained heating the metal makes it a whole lot easier to make changes to the object.
The next step he explained was to create moles to replace symbols at the top of the mace. After that, the mace is now completely restored.
Munroe stressed the importance of documenting of cultural artifacts.
