There are vertical and horizontal lines on the mace of Lord Hanuman. The vertical lines represent the raja component, whereas the horizontal one's represent the tama component; thus the mace is a symbol of raja-tama, supported by sattva. A combination of raja-sattva signifies a warrior-spirit. That Lord Hanuman always carries a mace means His warrior-spirit is always active. The mace is also a symbol of Dissolution. There is a mace in the hands of Lord Vishnu and Sri Datta too. (The shape of the mace is such that it tapers from its upper portion. This signifies that one has to enhance one's ego to perform the task of a destroyer.)
