A proto-American boarding axe?

Thanks for that, Richard. This definitely seems to match the profile of the weird 'rake ax'. Of course, this one is ancient with verdigris bronze head! Still, the question remains what this old one was used for!! The auction says Asian, but looks more Luristan to me? Oh, I know! The spikes were used to comb your hair and the blade was made to part it!
