It is a decorative axe. Such axes made in India in the late 19th century - early 20th century, as souvenirs to decorate rooms (cabinet).

All real axes should by definition have massive blade with a wedge. It's absense here, with a flat and thin blade, unquestionably qualifies it as as a decorative object.

I have an Indian axe which I had had for many years until I found out it had a concealed blade in the handle.
