Fantasy Polearm and Hand Axe Set (Decorative)

This image displays two ceremonial or decorative battle axes/polearms, likely fantasy replicas rather than functional historical weapons. The larger item on the left is a halberd-like polearm, featuring a prominent, ornate axe head made of what appears to be polished, bright metal (possibly stainless steel or chromed metal), with a central spike. The axe blade itself has a crescent moon shape with decorative cutouts. The junction between the blade and the haft is elaborately decorated with sculptural elements, including what appears to be a skull motif at its center, surrounded by gothic or fantasy-inspired scrollwork. The haft is long, slender, and black, transitioning to a textured, silver-colored grip near the bottom, culminating in a pointed butt-cap. The overall length appears to be considerable, suggesting a two-handed weapon. The smaller item on the right is a hand axe, also with a bright metal blade that features a distinctive 'bat-wing' or 'demon-wing' shape with spiked protrusions along the top edge, and a single prominent spike on the back of the head. Three raised rivets or decorative studs are visible along the spine of the blade. Its black haft is shorter, making it suitable for one-handed use, and incorporates multiple silver-colored bands or ferrules, along with a grey, textured grip. Both items exhibit a high degree of craftsmanship in their decorative elements, suggesting they are display pieces. They show very little, if any, visible wear or damage, indicating they are in excellent condition, likely having been primarily used for display. Their highly stylized, non-historical designs point towards a modern manufacturing period, possibly within the last few decades, catering to the fantasy or collector's market.
