Ciupaga (Shepherd's axe)

This is rather made for tourists. But I have some depictions from 17th cent:

First picture is probably late 16th cent woodcut depicting some party scene. Except not using sharp weapons so often, nothing really changed in mountains in this matter

Next two are from late 17th early 18th cent.
Drawings of axes are from Berestechko battle site (1651). You can see similar axes but I think slightly bigger.
