It is a decorative axe. Such axes made in India in the late 19th century - early 20th century, as souvenirs to decorate rooms (cabinet). |
All real axes should by definition have massive blade with a wedge. It's absense here, with a flat and thin blade, unquestionably qualifies it as as a decorative object.

I have an Indian axe which I had had for many years until I found out it had a concealed blade in the handle.
|
I would also call this axe more decorative then weapon grade ,but what is the purpose of the hidden spike if the axe is just a wall hanger? many weapon grade axe or mace have hidden spikes also.The axe shown is not much of a weapon but maybe it was?
|
Hidden spike exist on both real arms & tourist items/wall hangers.
The make a talking point perhaps helped the initial sale? |
