It’s a hammer, usually a wooden hammer similar to a gavel. It derives from the word “maul” or “mall”, meaning a medieval-period wooden hammer that looks a bit like a bowling pin.

a mallet is what is used to play xylophones or vibraphones or keyboards. a mallet is like a stick that has like a ball on the end of it. mallets for different instruments are different. for example mallets for xylophones are different from mallets for vibes.
