Wierd pliers ?

Ones modern use of forging tools, does provide good evidence of how 7 what they may do.

The fact such tools normally used in the west have no decoration may mean nothing in this context though..

In historic Hindu culture at least, many tools & most weapons carry religious or spiritual symbolism...

So Id guess the may be Indian... {Of course other cultures/religions in Africa or South AmericaI am unaware of may have done similar.}

But I think for origin we can rule out countrys where predominantly those 3 localised middle eastern origin Abrahamic religions, the Christian, Muslim or Jewish faiths preside.

But my moneys on Hindu Indian origin.
