Why is it so shocking? Lobbing the head off a sitting and immobilized person can be accomplished with any sharp object (and even not very sharp if long screaming doesn't bother you), especially if a conveniently-placed bent branch tearing his head off is the main component of the act. I am talking about battle use, against an armed, moving and unwilling to be beheaded guy. If you were going to war, would you prefer a Ngombe "beheading" sword or any Middle Eastern, SE Asian , Japanese or European one?
I looked here:

and couldn't find a single one that would fit the bill.
Exotic-looking? Yes. Beautiful? Depends on the taste. Practical? Barely so to resounding "no".
No offence meant. Just practical observation.
