Weapon or tool?

Grürtzi,
I am not sure, but it could be what Stone on page 83 in his Glossary calls a Ram Dao or sacrificial axes, and that would make it Indian, but he also mentions that some of the could be for agriculture. The Ram Dao can have many different forms and sizes.

Chregu,

That looks like a Hasiya (aka Khurmi) from Nepal. You can see examples here and here.
