This meticulously crafted battle axe from Jharkhand of the Chunia Kenedy Malias Tribe is an embodiment of utility and skilled art and being traditional. The axe can be very well used in a war with a semicircular sharp cutting edge. It is fixed to a socket to hold a long cylindrical wooden handle firmly. The interesting character of this weapon is the brass pillared extensive ornamentation at the hat section of the handle, which includes a pointed iron nail as well, probably having two functions: as the second weapon and symbolic. The handle is fitted into the socket very tightly and possesses a ridge at the back of it, probably for strengthening.
The beauty-enhancing handle further has a well-designed brass cap at the bottom end. This cap is held in place by a conical iron bolt, providing sound structural strength and durability. The workmanship suggests that this weapon could also have had ceremonial or status-related significance within the tribe. This battle axe is presently kept secure as a cultural artifact representing the martial legacy, metallurgical skill, and artistic heritage of the Chunia Kenedy Malias community.
