An archaic ax from the Kalyo-Kangyu Naga tribe. Heavy ax and shaft cover are made from one piece of iron that has a wooden core.

The head is facetted to one side and flat on the other, the neck and length of the shaft is incised with linear geometric shapes.

Photograph is from 1873. I have not seen any of these later than 1900.
