I don't have scans of old book drawings, but do you mean this kind?
Stone ax blade set in, glued, and then bound to the side of a robust shaft.

I cannot find anything in Oldman from that part of the world.

These are from the British Museum's "Handbook to the Ethnographical collections"

Amazing, I inherited these books in Dutch. Awesome books by the way.

Thank you Roy. You show an example I was looking for. In my mind there are more but I could be wrong.

I have heard of these and even seen some pictures, but not much written as far as I can see.
