Unusual and Crude Naga Dao

This is one of the strangest Naga daos I have encountered. It features a double-edged ax blade that is split down the middle. One side of each blade is flat, the other convex. The top of each blade is just very slightly concave and blunt. You can see that the blade is roughly forged. It is heavy and every bit a weapon, but I have not seen a split blade like this before. The haft and hair decoration are typical of Naga style.

Comments and observations are welcomed.

Dimensions:
Overall length: 29.5in.
Length of the ax head: 9.5in.
Widest point of the ax head: 4.75in.
