Morning star

a morning star is a weapon consisting of a spiked club resembling a mace, usually with a long spike extending straight from the top and many smaller spikes around the particle of the head. The spikes distinguish it from a mace, which can have, at most, flanges or small knobs.

A morning star can also be a flail.

In middle-earth the morning-star is used by the black númenoreans and the corsairs of umbar as well as some half-elves.
