Default Tribal India ?

This small group of weapons came together recently, and are a bit of a puzzle.
Based on the small/miniature axe, I am thinking from Tribal India somewhere ? (Khond ?).

The little axe is 60cm in length and very light, it would be of no use as a weapon. Could it be made for a child or for ceremonial use ? The bow and arrows do not really look African to me, as African bows do not normally have that type of split bamboo bowstring.

Anyway, can anyone help out with identification and any relevant information ?

Thanks in advance.
