Looks like an axe to me. The cutting edge of the axe is embedded into the surface. And the handle attaches near the back of the head like an axe. Most hammers I've seen the handle attaches in the middle.
Splitting mauls have a wider angle to help separate wood pieces and a beefier back to use with/as a sledgehammer or splitting wedge. What's rendered is definitely more like an axe than a splitting maul.

hahaha; this is what I was going for.
Just FYI, your handle is on backwards.
There are many different styles of axe and some don't flair out much.

Assuming the cutting face is down, the handle is on "backwards" too (the swell at the bottom normally goes the other way).
I believe it's actually trying to render a splitting maul, which people often confuse for an axe.

What you're describing is exactly what I see in the image.
Fair enough. Hard to tell one way or another with all the "action" marks.
Sure is. How weird.
