Very good points, Thearos and Masiakasaurus. I had automatically associated a sword and a war axe, but the "weapons" could as well be for agricultural purposes. It would be nice to have pictures of all sides of the pillar.
It's difficult to get a really good look at the hanging "tool" or "weapon". If it is a sling, one of the cords is considerably longer than the other one. This might be due to the fact that the retention cord has to be wrapped around the wrist or the hand as there is no toggle or loop.
It seems to me, however, that behind the 3-split-section there is something like another 3-split-section (vaguely shaped). It would then rather look like an agricultural (equestrian?) item, as Thearos proposed. And it would complement the "belt" and the "rope" on the same side of the pillar.
