it is somehow stuck. very sturdy.

When I look at it, my instinct screams PAUPUA. Am I right?

hmmm, artistic came to my mind as well. Frankly Valjhun, when i look, it screams art project. Very nicely/cleanly done, but it doesn't look to me to be a true ethnographic axe made for indigenous use. I may be way off base as this is not exactly my field, but i have personally put together things quite like this in the past, so i am skeptical.
Is the bone fossilized? It looks it.
