An interestingIndian(?) weapon

Hi, y'all. I came accross an interesting, purportedly, Indian weapon today which appealed to me. I was wondering if anyone might offer some comments.

Overall it is about 26" long. Yhe top spike is threaded and screws thru the head into the handle. The hammer face is flat. The spike also unscrews and can be seperated from the guard thingie. The critters might be dogs, might be lions and appear to be a bit less magnetic than the rest of the object.

The decoration appears to be finely etched into the steel (at least ferrous) and accented by silver. Overall, the surface 80% very lightly pitted.

This thing looks like a familiar type to me but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?
