The axe seems likely to originate with the Konyak Naga based on the information I have. The shape of the blade is indicative as is the red and black hair. The ancestor figure carving I have not seen before nor is it mentioned in the references I have. It reminds me of carvings by the Paiwan (Taiwan aboriginals) on their weapons.
