From the village of Paszyna in the Nowy Sacz area comes this unique example of a regional folk art.  This is a decorative ciupaga, a Polish mountaineer's combination mountain axe and walking stick with an axe head and metal tipped end.  The wooden body features ornate hand carving, a nicely finished eagle axe head, colorful tassles, metal trim and decorative chain.  The carving features a mountaineer's head and his chata (home).  Axe head has a protective coating.  Protect from denting and dinging.   For display only.  Do not oil or use any chemical cleaners.  
Not a toy and not for children.
