The axe and hoe are gardening tools from the Central Republic, The axe was used for heavy duty work - men would sling the axe over their shoulder and go off into the forest or bush for this or that task. A smaller axe was used by women for lighter tasks, The hoe looked like a long chisel and was used for gardening, tilling and getting rid of weeds. The axe handle measures 21 in. long with a 5 1/2 in metal head, and the hoe is 20 1/2 in. long overall with a 12 5/8 in, blade.
We believe the curved metal piece with T-bar handles was used for gardening or as a weapon of war. It measures 30 in. long, with decorative marks down the middle. All from the Dale Baker collection.
