Trying to think what the small axe could be for ... one possibility :-

The axe or "parashu" was an attribute for some Hindu deities, so could my example have been part or a large, probably wooden figure of a deity ? This could explain the hole in the blade, ie. for fixing the axe to the wood.

Just an idea.
